Get off the beaten path and explore the hidden-gem destinations within a few hours of the Mother Road! Includes numerous photos and illustrations. Known as the Main Street of America and the Mother Road, US Route 66 is the nation’s best-known highway. This lavishly illustrated book steers you from Chicago to Los Angeles, traveling through the lowlands of the American Plains and the high plateaus of New Mexico and Arizona, from the Great Lakes to the mighty Pacific Ocean, and through major metropolises and remote country towns. Best of all, it lets you branch away from the Mother Road and encounter gems hidden beyond today’s standard motels and tourist traps—the quaint frontier communities that date back to the nation’s westward expansion; the legacy of ancient native cultures; and the awe-inspiring natural wonders that have graced these lands since time immemorial. State parks, wildlife refuges, museums, historic sites, literary landmarks, and much more are there to be explored within a few hours’ drive from the path of Route 66. The fifty trips included here offer new travel opportunities for the thousands of road-trippers who follow this legendary route, looking for something more. “The road and this book recall a time before franchise restaurants and chain motels choked America’s highways . . . the guide consists of 50 driving tours, which include plenty of side trips.” —Arizona Republic

One of the reasons for writing this book and sharing our photos is to help people who wanted to do the adventure that is Route 66. Another reason was to recapture the journey, the moments, and the anticipation of one of the greatest road trips on planet earth.The planning and anticipation of our Route 66 road trip was one of many years, simply because living in Australia and the tyranny of distance, we thought it would be cost prohibitive. The other banal reason was I was very unsure about driving on the wrong side of the road - in Australia we drive on the left-hand side of the road but in the US it's the right-hand side of the road. But after a family trip to Disneyland, Universal Studios and San Diego Zoo in 2005, I figured that driving our hire car for the two hour journey with wall to wall automobiles on a Southern Californian Freeway (going the wrong way down the road) to San Diego was remotely stress free, then surely I could manage three weeks driving across the United States of America some day!And so with some excitement and anticipation, tentative discussions began - "...could we do Route 66?" The resounding answer was "yes!" But how and when? The most logical time frame for the trip was around the time of my 50th birthday (June 2011) so we could celebrate and have a reference point for people who ask "...why are you doing that?" It seems that in our generation you have to have some kind of justification or an impetus for "doing" something.Anyway with all that said, this book is a guide from the perspective of a couple of Australian's, to help anyone and everyone who has ever dreamed of doing the adventure, on whatever budget you might have, and travelling across the United States of America on the Mother Road - that is Route 66.

An encyclopedia with a twist, The Route 66 Encyclopedia presents alphabetical entries on Route 66 history, landmarks, personalities, and culture, from Bobby Troup’s anthem “Route 66� to The Grapes of Wrath to the Wigwam Motel, illustrated with over 1,000 old and new, color and black-and-white photos and memorabilia.You'll learn about Jack Rittenhouse and Will Rogers as well as the contributions of lesser-known figures like Arthur Nelson and Angel Delgadillo. With references to the old (including the history of the U Drop Inn Café in Texas) and new (including a section about the recent Cars movie), The Route 66 Encyclopedia provides a sweeping look at a highway that has become more than just a road. These pages cover the history of Route 66 and the people who played a role in its transformation from highway to icon between 1926 and the present, but like the highway itself, this work does not fit within the traditional confines of generalities or terminology. Yes, this is an encyclopedia, a reference book for all things Route 66. However, it is also a time capsule, a travel guide, a history book, a memorial, a testimonial, and a chronicle of almost a century of societal evolution.
