Coast to Coast - Rt.66 vs Hwy 50?
Since I live near St. Louis, I'll have to be strategic to plan a coast to coast ride. Does anybody have any words of wisdom to recommend taking Rt. 66 vs Hwy 50?

RE: Coast to Coast - Rt.66 vs Hwy 50?
If you plan on taking Route 66, invest in some good maps because there are sections that are no longer there. Literally...POOF! Gone! There is a foundation that supports Route 66 and you could do a Google search for more information if you wanted to quickly find out which parts are closed or not. From what I know Route 66 is intact roughly 80% give or take. Soyou'll need to divert yourself off and back on in areas, but you'll get to enjoy most of the scenery along the way.
If you plan to motor West, travel my way and take the highway that's the best...get your kicks on Route 66.
Safe Journey!

If ya do the 50 route, don't forget an extra pair of shoes.

This is the kind of good stuff that makes this forum valuable to me. On days when riding is out of the question, a good action movie (Clear and Present Danger currently)checking in with you guys, and cruising the internet on thelaptop is great stuff. Thanks everybody, keep the info coming please.
