Any one bin on rt66 in mo , is it worth seeing, things to see places to eat ,sleep etc. Coming in on july 10 for 3-4 days from nj.No major plans just a get-a-way week for me and my wife THANKS

 

pretty nice ride . if coming though the st.louis area take the time to run up the great river road starting in Alton Ill. up though Grafton Ill.

Devils Elbow MO. Worth doing IMHO

 

I live in St. Louis. Old Route 66 cuts right through south city (it's now Chippewa/Watson Road). Stop at Ted Drewe's Frozen Custard on Watson if you come through the city.

 

bypass east st.louis anyway you can if you don't pack. very dangerous place.

 

I'll second that, I live about 4 hours down the road, you couldn't pay me to drive through East St Louis yet alone stop there.

 

east st lotus is in missouri or illinois ?

 

East St Louis Illinois.

Washington Park, etc.

Yea, the sights over there are probably not what you'd like to see.

 

About 10 years ago I drove 66 end to end & found the MO section very enjoyable. At that time it wasn't well marked & difficult to follow without a gps but well worth the effort. You'll enjoy it much more if you get some guide books so you'll know what you're looking at.
