Lost on 66
This book is all but useless, really advise not to waste your money...It will not help you as you drive down the road...it has a few places to stop and see and that's about it!! Get a good guide like the Route 66 Adventure Handbook and the EZ66 Guide for travelers......see you on the road!!

Essential for a Route 66 Road Trip
If you're heading out on a tour of the Mother Road, take this with you. Along with listings for sites you won't find in some other guides, this book also has addresses and phone numbers so you can contact hotels, etc., in advance.

When I was setting up my agenda for a Route 66 tour, this is the only place I found a reference to "Elmer's Place." Check it out when you're on the road...

Route 66 guide
An excellent aide memoir for anyone travelling the route. Hard to find and at times ridiculously priced, the book is not a complete travel compendium but a wonderful pocket reference filled with useful information that encourages further discovery. Worth it if you can find one for a reasonable price. Retails at $12 but out of print. I paid $20. It is worth every penny. I recently did the entire Route 66 in 12 days on a hired Harley with a mate and it was a good help (esp the mapping).
