Product Description
Fully revised and expanded, this guide to all the exuberance, splendor, and absurdity of Route 66 includes details on the magnificent architecture, natural wonders, vintage motels and cafes, unique museums, offbeat attractions, fascinating artifacts and icons, and kitschy tourist traps that dot this famous stretch of road. Now featuring dozens of city maps that pinpoint locations of interest, this painstakingly researched handbook provides information on how to locate the multiple paths of Route 66, including unmarked portions of the old highway; contact information for Route 66 associations and local visitor bureaus; an index of all Route 66 towns; and anecdotes, trivia, attractions, and suggested side trips. From well-known hotspots to obscure, off-the-beaten-path destinations, this inspiring guide presents a wealth of information for both first-time adventurers and seasoned travelers.

Drew ROCKS!,
By
This review is from: Route 66 Adventure Handbook: Adventure Pack Edition Includes 4 Full-Color Postcards (Paperback)
This book is absolutely the best resource for anyone looking to explore the Mother Road! I found it at the Midway Cafe in Texas (the halfway point) and it was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Filled with interesting artifacts, side trips, factoids and fun stops, this guide to Route 66 is just what any first-timer or veteran traveler of America's lost Americana needs. I just wish that I had found it before setting out to California. But, there's always the next time. Drew helped me to find some very interesting sights along the way and the trip was absolutely the coolest nine days I have ever spent in a car or by myself!Thanks, Drew!!!
