GUEST,Jack Hickman - Kingston, ON Route 66 (11) RE: Route 66 08 Apr 01


What a prompt and satisfying response. I got the lyrics I was looking for.

To share my experience, my brother and I drove from Chicago to San Diego. We followed the Interstates, Rtes 55, 44, and 40 as far as Kingman, AZ, where we diverted, and went to Vegas for a couple of nights. The remains of Rte 66 were evident practically all along the route, some places it was accessible to cars, and along one stretch it had evidently been converted to a bike path. It was well marked, however, with signs all along the route. I don't think one would get very far trying to take the original route.

There were parts of the route which were straight as a die and flat as a pancake. At times it felt we were actually flying the ride was so smooth, especially the way my brother drove. Certainly one would never notice the speed to be 85 mph plus. (except maybe the highway patrol, which thankfully we avoided.)

Our total mileage for the trip was 2,320 miles from Chicago to Rancho Bernardo, CA, just north of San Diego. We took four days, with a two-night stop in Las Vegas, which shouldn't be missed, just for the experience.

For the person asking about whether or not 16 days would be enough to see everything, I would think it would be adequate.

Thanks to all who responded.
