Anyone ever traveled the old Route 66 Highway?

It’s very rough in places.

Well, I traversed the 66 in Oklahoma a couple weeks back on business. Feel free to skip the Oklahoma portion.... nothing but wind and dust.

That movie hits way harder than it should.

I've only been on brief stretches of just to say I'd driven on Route 66.

My old man, however, remembers it well from his childhood. My grandparents travelled a lot out west visiting family before the interstate system was built, so they were on Route 66 often. He got to see it in its heyday.

Not a lot left of it in most places. Cool to see though.

Going in May. Two week road trip via rte 66 all the way to the coast

That’s where I get my kicks.

The place from the movie cars is in Shamrock 40 mins east of Amarillo, Midpoint Cafe is 40 mins West of Amarillo. Get off 40 and go thru the small towns in TX panhandle and western OK if you want a better feel for that era. Some places its like time just stopped. Don't remember anything notable going thru OK.
