Dear Visitor,
The Historic Route 66 web site is dedicated to provide free information for those who want to learn more about Route 66. It features a turn-by-turn road description, guiding the visitor from Chicago to Los Angeles. The forum is available for discussions regarding old 66 by the visitors of this site. There's a slide-show, with pictures from our trip down Route 66 in 1994.
As old Route 66 is not indicated on maps nowadays, any serious traveler of U.S. Highway 66 needs a detailed map and guide before hitting the road.
As the song by Bobby Troup goes:
If you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way, the highway that's the best.
Get your kicks on Route 66!

Cars, the newest Pixar movie causes some interest in Route 66. What people might not realize is that most of the movie, including characters, cars, places and the plot itself were based on real people and places along Route 66.
