Traveling Route 66 gives one a sample of past and present Americana. I began my journey in the urban landscape of it's Chicago beginning to it's urban landscape end in Los Angeles. In between those two great cities was an adventure into the past with a hint of what life was like more than 70 years ago and it brought home that reality that no text book could have accomplished.

I left Pontiac Mi. in July 1965 with two buddies and we traveled to Pasadena, Ca. via Rt. 66. After 40 years I still have vivid memories and warm feeling of that trip. We stayed at the now defunct Mentor Hotel at the corner of Rt. 66 and Mentor Ave. We returned in August, taking the same route home. What an adventure, what a memory. I shall never forget the experience and the hundreds of sights I saw. I was only 19 years old. Thanks for the memory in pictures that you have provided here.

Live now in California

In 1964, five years after immigrating from England, I found myself in Detroit, working for the auto industry. Local dealers paid you to deliver late-model used cars to destinations where they fetched a higher price. Money for old rope! I drove a mammoth Cadillac deVille to Los Angeles, the drive of a lifetime. I followed Route 66 the whole way because 1) it was well mapped, 2) it had a fantastic image, and 3) there really was no other way. I enjoyed every minute. Signs on wierd constructions promised a future, free interstate high way system, and I thought, Oh sure, like going to the moon!

As a kid, travelled a great many miles of the Mother Road with my parents and brothers. I remember the roadside attactions and overnight stays in memorable motels...great food...and endless miles of scenery that fired my imagination! Glorious memories of a glorious time...too bad we can't all get OUR kicks on Route 66. By the way, great website!!!

I drove long stretches of Route 66 in Arizona during vacations in 1999 and again in 2001. I greatly enjoyed the experience and have since learnt much more about the history of the highway and its importance to the American people. I am unlikely to visit the USA again but if I ever do come back then further travelling along Route 66 will be a must do.

Had a wedding in Phoenix on March 25th, 2005 so we had to see Route 66 since we were going all the way to AZ! We traveled 85% of Route 66 from Pinta Rd (just East of Petrified Forest DO NOT MISS!) to Topock in 2 days! This site was indispensable in helping us to see what is left of the Mother Road in AZ! The feel of the Mother Road is indescribable and a must do for anyone with any interest! We would have missed most of the old road if it were not for this site with its easy to follow instructions! We are planning to do New Mexico next and will be sure to get our directions from this site! Thanks and enjoy!

Hi there, I drove a 9hp Riley car made in 1933 from England to Australia & back in 1960 . I drove from England to Srilanka ,then across Australia & finally from L.A. to Canada along the old "66" .It was the most interesting road of all the trip .It was full of interesting road houses which were full of interesting people ! I left England with £130 cash & worked my way ,hence it took 2 years to do! I stayed at a place called Palm Beach , near Parker (Arizona) while I worked on cars & boats to raise some cash to continue the trip to Canada .I finally worked in Canada to raise the fare home . I still have a few "Pics" of places on "Route 66" . It was a great drive. George

Traveled Rt.66 last summer, just me and my dog. Had a blast, Got emotional, met some great people and learned a lot i didn't know. My advice For EVERYONE travelin' the route: Stop everywhere and talk to anyone around! Every person I met on my journey was more than happy to "sit a spell" and talk. I got great road tips and an eye on the OLD sections, that are not on most maps. Ask questions! Forget about a schedule, just enjoy it.

My husband and I rode the 'mother road' in 2001 with the HOG event. Great time! One year later to the date, June 22, my husband was killed on his motorcycle while riding with 6 guys; a van driver fell asleep and crossed the center line. They were on hwy 30; the same highway we took to get to Chicago the year before on that very date. We had been married 35 years. Three of the bikers were killed, one had brain damage and some other issues and one lost a leg; he has since passed away.

HI! I own a tour company and have Route 66 Tours for tour groups. In fact, I have a tour group from Great Britain that I will be with today. They fly in from England and motorcoach all the way to California!

June 8 2005, what a nostalgic date for me, because on this date last year I was on a Route 66 autobus tour from ChicagoIl, to Santa Monica CA. What a wonderful trip my companions and I had, the sun, the smells, the dozens of wonderful gift shops and special sites that we visited, and the wonderful people of all shapes ,sizes and persuasions that we met along the way. I spent a small fortune on 66 hats, tee shirts, and many other Mother Road knick knacks. Apart from the thrill of the road travel, one other very important fact loomed on my horizon very quickly, and that is what a truly beautiful and vast land this America is. Route 66 was the trip of a lifetime, but I intend to repeat that journey on the Mother Road again, and soon. Bless you all Roadies.

Trying to fine bicycle riders that have biked Route 66 to share info.. I plan to give it a try in spring of 06. Will be 71 by then and my travel buddy is 71 also. We ride 35 -40 miles a day now for training. Figure time is running short to make the ride so it's gotta be soon.

Greetings all, Great site really enjoyed the photo gallery brought back many 66 memories, Travelled the whole route in 95,96,and several times between 93 to 03 missing out in 2004 to reach our 50th state Alaska.Though i'm sure i could see 66 out of the plane landing in Chicago. Our 66 highlight was getting married by Uncle Charlie in Oatman in 2001 on the funrun. So if you've never made that 66 trip make sure you do, any mode of transport walk if you have to! Best wishes to all 66ers worldwide, Mark&Jo

Please, save whatever is left! Many Americans come to Europe and they love the old buildings there. But at home they tear their old buildings down, just to build more parking lots and shopping malls. Take care of your precious history!

Almost one year passed since our trip across the Historical Route 66 aboard our Harleys; it has been one of the greatest experience of my life and today I'm incredibly missing a lot those places. Don't think: just go!

Hi all! When I was 12 dad took us all the way from Lawrenceburg,Kentucky to Calif via 66. I've been to Europe, the Caribbean, and yet no other trip equaled the trip to CA. We stopped and saw everything and I still cherish the pics. From Deadwood to Death Valley..it was magnificent. If you don't make a trip like this then you haven't lived!! Back then we did it for very little money..today it would cost so much more!! Have to travel RV to see it all today. Anyway, we have some great slides and I still see places featured on the Travel Channel that I can say.."I've been there!" Good luck to any and all who try it out..you will never forget the experience!!
