I am driving route 66 in August/ September this year… I cannot wait.
How to drive Route 66
How I did it: My sister decided to move to Sarasota, Florida from Central Oregon. She needed moral support, plus someone to help out with her little girl.
We had a handy map, cell phones and an adventurous spirit!!!
Lessons & tips: Take a camera. Take pictures of everything. Be sure to visit everything you can. Drive in the day so you can see everything and be rested.
Resources: A MAP

I love to travel, but my financial situation never really gives me the opportunity. I want to take a week (or so) and drive route 66 on my own. Go explore, see some new things… I always feel at my best when I’m away from home
yes on a motorcycle and make sure i stop at all the local diners and such
It’s just something that appeals, hopefully I’ll get chance in the next couple of years.
But… the Wiki says it’s approximately 2500 miles, so if I could average 50mph I’d have to do 10 hours non-stop driving per day to do it in 5 days. If anyone has done this is that achievable? Do you actually get to see anything other than the road (is there anything to see)?
Had the idea once … would love to fly to Chicago with my dad and then rent a car … and then drive the length of the highway and enjoy the time with my father.

Yeah, I want to drive from Chicago to LA. I used to tend bar on an old Route 66 dive in Albuquerque, that was fun.
I passed it by bus, on a tour… my last trip before I left the USA. But I want to go back and do the whole route by car.

When gas prices come down, I get a driver’s license, and have an eager companion, this is totally the trip. _.
