Driving from Chicago to L.A. along the historic Route 66? |
Travel Info Does any one know the new Route numbers that will include all or as much of the old Route 66 as possible? Travel Tips Great Fun(Check out the Link!) Allow 2 Weeks ,maybe more for the Ultimate drive experience! I have done it in reverse-WOW!!! Source(s): http://www.historic66.com/ Other Travel Tips Why not just go on the Route 66 sounds unmissable i would love to do that in a fast sports car with music as loud as poss Forgot them Very little of Route 66 survives. Sorry to disappoint. i dont know all the new route numbers , but its a great trip i did back in the early 1960's both ways, when it was still alive aand active it was a highlight of my life Going across Nebraska on U.S. 80 (and you go, and go, and go across Neb.) you can literally see 66 just to north. In many instances the little towns that it runs through are close enough to 80 so that you can drive over and get gas a bit cheaper. At one time, before the freeways, those little towns were prosperous as they fed off the rich traffic that passed through. Now the motels that once served those passers by are rundown or abandoned, and the towns themselves have have slipped into peaceful economic slumber. If you follow 66, there are so many of this little places with their 25 MPH signs that you will have plenty of opportunity to observe their character, but you my find it a poor trade off for the speed and comfort of the freeway that you can see. And please keep in mind the fact that every one of those little towns has three things: one or two bored cops with at radar gun, a need for revenue and a disregard for out-of-state tourists. I might better add that there is certain to be some store owner-*** Justice of the Peace whose notion of maintaining the peace is to fine the hell outta Hoosiers, $50.00 of which, by law, falls to him. But you may enjoy it immensely |
