I have ridden from Joliet, Ill to Santa Rosa, NM. And I've also done Flagstaff, AZ to Santa Monica, CA (by car), so I've seen a lot of the route.

Are you interested in seeing only selected attractions (restaurants, old gas stations, classic motels, etc) ? Some folks exit the interstates where needed to see such sites.

I wanted to experience riding/driving as much of the original route as possible. I strongly recommend the EZ 66 Guide book which provides the details needed for such a trip.

Everyone has their own idea of what they want out of 66 - what kind of things are you interested in ?
