Thread: Route 66 21 day trip

Tweet

Looks like a great trip. We did some in Illinois on the Power Tour this year, but it would be nice to drive the whole thing. We ran into some folks from New Zealand at the Dwight, Illinois station in your pics. They had driven from California on 66.

There's just nothing like a great American road trip!

BTW - Did you stand on the corner in Winslow, AZ?

At every motel, museum, etc. that had a registry to sign, well over half of the signatures were from people from outside the US. Lots of people from all over Asia, Europe, New Zealand and Australia. In the Petrified Forest came upon 12 Australians who had flown into Chicago, rented Harley Motorcycles and were doing the whole route on the bikes. Met a real nice group of young Chinese kids also doing the whole route after flying into Chicago. One of the photos shows them. The Motheroad is really as much world famous as US famous.

Did not stand on the corner in Winslow, just drove through.

We passed through Winslow on the motorcycle a few years ago. After hearing that line in the Eagles song all my life, I couldn't resist checking it out. There is an official corner in Winslow dedicated to that song.

We stopped at many of the Route 66 places that you had in your pics, but didn't ride on the actual road. I've really got to do it one day. Thanks for sharing your pictures.
