Re: Cruised abandoned Route 66 in Arizona

Great pictures and thanks for sharing. I have all of the maps and have this on my bucket list to do. I haven't really decided where I'm going to start and end. I want to go where there is still some scenery left.

Welcome! I was using a map drawn by a well known Route 66 artist (he ran the Hackitt store), on my first trip to/from Chicago, but it wasn't useful. Stopped at a cool gas station in Missouri, found out later that guy is a legend, got the EZ66 Guide For Travelers by Jerry McClanahan. But it lacks information on the Crookton segment. My next goal is to drive over the Canyon Padre bridge near Twin Arrows. Been on all that you can to the Colorado River, and many parts towards New Mexico.

I'm sort of shocked how many left comments on this, really appreciate the enthusiasm! Thank you very much. Get the maps out, hit the Mother Road!

Thank you! It still has the Idaho dealer decal on the tailgate, and has a fair amount of rust, but probably isn't growing fast around here, with the drought we're in.

I love all the pics thanks! Renewing my desire to do this. Did you stop at Gary's Gay Parita in Ash Grove, MO outside of Springfield?
