Default Route 66

has anyone ever traveled Route 66 from Ca. to Chicago and back or visa versa? I'm looking for tips or ideas on anyone that may be able to share an itinerary, friendly repair shops along the way, sights to see and a timeline to try and get it all in. I got the wild idea last weekend after watching a Rte 66 DVD and it looked like it would be fun.

Funny as I just stumbled across this and read thru it. A family drove from Chicago to Amarillo and documented the trip very nicely. I want to do this one day myself..

I did it many moons ago....as a child. I highly recommend this trip. Very educational.

I'd love to make that trip one day!

We did get to check out Rt 66 from Flagstaff to Joseph City, AZ, where the Jack Rabbit Trading Post is.

We didn't see a girl (my lord) in a flatbed Ford.

We did see a Dakota pick up back up into a (IIRC) Buell.
