Anyone made the trip?

It sounds like a fun thing to do with my son!

Time spent with your son?

Awesome!

A dad took his son fishing and didn't catch a thing. He wrote in his diary, “Spent day fishing. Day wasted.” The son wrote on the same day: “Spent day with Dad. Best day of my life!”

Great story.....Stupid Dad!!!

Yeah my kid loves cars and going for a drive!

I was just curious if anyone made the trip and if it had sites and entertainment along the way

Didn't rocky Dennis do that in the movie "Mask".

Much of the original route is closed . . .

only during rush-Hour!!

Took a road-trip with my daughter last fall from southern Calif up to northern Nevada to stay on a friend's alpaca ranch for a few days. She was calling it the "road-trip to nowhere" before we left, but it turned out to be pretty cool for both of us. RTE 66 is one I'd like to do, too--at least up to the TX border.

Scroll down about 2/3's of the way, he's got a RTE 66 section.

cigarick- you have a friend with an alpaca ranch

whoa

way cool

Did part of Arizona. Hope that one day to take my 65 Vette and drive most of it.

Never did Rte 66.

Did, however, drive I 80 end to end once.

That would be a fun roan trip with the fam.

How much of it is left? I heard it had many breaks in it.

get your kicks,

On Route 66,

http://www.historic66.com  ) that shows the old route, how to access it and spectacles and features along the way. A very cool trip. Allow plenty of time.

Covered from St Louis to Flagstaff- a lot of great schtuff to see, and it would be time well-spent w/ you son, but it was already said-allow plenty of time.

Rick,

Are your friends Ed and Kay?

I've taken the trip on 66 from Oklahoma City to Santa Monica. Much of the road is gone but there is some really cool places along the route - mostly business routes off the freeway through smaller towns. You can buy countless Mother Road books (check Amazon) that tell about all the things to see. Also, you should get a book called Road Food and then you can find the coolest places to eat along the route as well.

One of the neatest places we hit was Oatman. You can catch Route 66 in Kingman, AZ and follow it to Needles, CA. It's very much like the road in the movie "Cars" - I thing you'd enjoy it.

^ Sweet!

that would work!

Thanks guys for the input!
