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.

Re: Route 66
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..

Re: Route 66
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.

Re: Route 66
Jeff, Are you in the Bay area? If so have you considered the Lincoln Highway instead of Rte 66? Or you could take one of them out to Chicago, and the other one back.

I appreciate the leads, I am going to buy the book and check it out. I hope to get this in over 9 days...I've never taken a 2 week vacation, this may be the first if this trip happens http://www.historic66.com/ http://www.lincolnhighwayassoc.org/ [/ QUOTE ]
