Route 66 turns, and the national celebration is kicking off right in Springfield, Missouri. AAA Missouri spokesman Nick Chabarria joins us from the birthplace of the Mother Road, where travelers from across the country are gearing up for a once-in-a-lifetime road trip. With new centennial maps, big crowds expected, and plenty of nostalgia in the air, this is shaping up to be one of the biggest travel stories of 2026.

Invasive Jumping Worms have been spreading into more than a dozen states in the U-S, including Missouri. Angela Sokolowski tells Sue Danielson that while most species of worms are good for the soil, the jumping worm (also known as the Alabama jumper or snake worm) is not a welcome sight.

She says she gets a few phone calls each year about them. She also says that, according to one source, there have been 60 confirmed reports of jumping worms in the state.
