47-59 route 66

[jocww]

Planning on doing route 66 in my 49 chevy 5 window. Thinking about getting a yeti roadie 20 for drinks and snacks and then can refill at motels along the way. Anybody know how much they weigh when full of ice. I have a 65 qt pelican but that is too big. I want something small that i can carry inside a motel room at night and store in the cab when doing day excursions. Plan on doing this pretty light weight. Back pack full of clothes, my Ipad. I figure I can eat out for dinner or lunch at a famous diner or restaurant for most big meals, but for snacks and drinks along the way I think the roadie would be pretty good fit. I do have a hopper 30 but its soft sided, i think the 20 would be cool to put stickers on a long the way.

Anybody have any attractions that I should see or do? Any good places to stay the night at? Any place I should avoid? Im going to do it in reverse Santa Monica to Chicago and then take 80 back to SF. Im planning on doing it in 10 days or so.
