We live in Tulsa and have done 3 trips on the Route so far, a large part of St Louis to Needles CA. Your EZ66 guide, which we fortunately discovered at the Midpoint Cafe on our first trip (during which we got married also) is truly amazing, and I threw out my printed maps when I saw it. Absolutely indispensable for any trip on the route.

We travelled Route 66 with our youngest son Alex in July/August this year from Chicago through to Santa Monica using EZ66. What a great trip across America that was made easier with the EZ66 guide albeit that we occasionally managed to get lost, drive for periods on gravel and thankfully spent long periods on the Mother Road!! In particular, thanks go to all those dedicated people that keep Route 66 alive for the pleasure of travellers such as ourselves from the UK.

We'd strongly recommend the EZ66 guide a must for any prospective Route 66 travellers.

Best regards,

Hi Jerry!

My son and I traveled Route 66 in July of last year. We drove from Chicago to LA over 16 days in our grey Mazda MX-5. The ENTIRE trip was driving top-down of course! What an incredible road trip made even more enjoyable by having your guide to show us all the great spots along the way. Thank you for your dedication to preserving Route 66 and helping folks like us enjoy it!

As you may remember, we were documenting the trip via our GoPro camera. We recently finished the hours and hours of editing. Please enjoy this short video of our trip:

And, if you feel the need, please share the video with others.

Cheers,

Hi jerry

We are traveling east on Route 66 & your book has been so helpful! We just wanted to let you know that there is a great Indian (actually punjabi) buffet in Dhillon truck stop just outside on San Jon NM - not much else there as you wrote. this place was great & supposedly Indian truck drivers prefer to go on Route 66 and so this is part of the ever evolving culture of the road. Thanks for your guidance - it has made our trip so much better!

Jerry, I am planning to take a trip on Route 66 in Mar-Apr next year. I have three books on the route but not much is mentioned about RV traveling. I have a 29 foot Class C motor home and I will need places to spend the night. Are there any RV camping places on the route? Your help will be appricated. Thanks!! "Bill"

Hey Jerry,
My wife bought your book for our up coming trip down Route 66, boy it sure came in handy. We made it only down to the halfway point in Texas, but I am looking forward to finishing the trip hopefully next year. We just got back on Saturday July 26th we went through Chandler on Wednesday hoping to see you but you were gone when we get there (nice Chevy you had parked in your side drive). As we were driving down Route 66 just east of Amarillo we noticed a Peace Park (or a "giant" peace sign) on the side of the road. We were wondering why there isn't a note in your book about it? I know that it isn't part of the old mother road but it might be worth a mention in one of your revised books. Maybe with your connections on Route 66 you can find out more about it, because there doesn't seem to be much information on the internet about it. Thank You, Roger

Hiya Jerry,
just purchased your book through Amazon. I will be passing Chandler in Dec this year. You better bloody be there to sign it as its a long way from Perth, Western Australia.. haha.Last year we drove past Roys Cafe etc and through 66 in Barstow, Helendale etc.We drove from Vancouver, Colorado ,Utah etc. This year we land in Dallas, zig zag up to Milwaukee, then the 66 way down to Dallas again. Should be a fun drive. hope to meet you in Chandler.
Cheers, Roley.

Hello Jerry,

We may have made our acquaintance already. I believe that you are the gentleman I emailed a couple years ago, or maybe last year, about the old Whiting Brothers service station in Barstow CA. My father was the motel manager there in 1983-1985. We lived in the small adjacent house behind the service station. I was only eight going on nine during the time that we spent there. I am currently writing a memoir of that year, my father stayed on an extra year when my mother took my sister and I back up to Northern California. Barstow is not a place for most people, she being one. I have since been fascinated with Whiting Brothers motels and their history. My grandparents ran the motel in Gallup NM and were very close friends of the Whiting family. I am curious to know if you have other pictures of the Barstow facility. I love the one you have posted on your site, but would love to see more, if you have them.
Thank-you for your time,

Julie Adams

Arrived in Los Angeles last night after two weeks of doing Route 66 starting in Chicago. Throughout the trail your book was of invaluable assistance. We attempted as many of the side trips as possible, and the giant alerts particularly amused us. The turkey tracks was one of our more amusing stops. The maps and directions helped us in many tight spots. We passed by your home town but unfortunately it was late on a Sunday evening and thought it best not to disturb you. Thank you again.

Posted by: John Tall on 1 - Jul 27, 2014 at 8:15:04 am [remove] - [jtall2671@yahoo.com] Hi Jerry
It's always been a bucket list item to do 66. Preferably on a motorcycle. Well the chance came last month, but by rental suv as we would be taking a grand daughter and niece with us. I'm here to tell you that I think it was better this way the first time since I navigated while the wife drove. I believe we were able to get in my sites than had we went on a bike and we were left to my wife's non-navigating skills. After a few days on the road, i figured out the book was not exactly in the order you would see things (looks like they were doing the trip headed EAST...in which case the text is unavoidably slanted towards the westbound orientation..McJerry). So i started reading a couple pages ahead because we made numerous u-turns the first few days. I coupled the book with the gps files I put on my computer and the Good Sam gps to try to see most everything. Now that it's done, my wife and I will still be planning to bike the route one day. Our house to Chicago, 66 and then back home. 19 days and 5750 miles. I'd do it again tomorrow if I could. Too many good folks along the way we would like to visit with again.
