EZ UPDATES
For readers of the EZ 66 Guide for Travelers, I have provided free online updates to help keep your Route 66 experience as current as possible. As you might imagine, Route 66 is constantly undergoing changes, some good, others not so. Businesses open and close, roads are re-routed and street names change.
Please check back here just before your trip for the latest info. Entries are dated as to when they were added.
If you wish to purchase your own copy of the EZ Guide, please go

EZ 66 readers have been helpful in keeping me keep the guidebook updated in between my own road trips, so if you discover something that needs to be addressed while on your journey, please let me know!

OOPS! I was a bit unclear about the WB directions for getting on I-70 at EXIT 245B...you should join I-70 EAST, headed south to downtown St Louis.
See, I was giving a compass direction for the actual direction of travel, but the sign you see (correctly) gives the general EAST trend of travel for I-70...and this has caused confusuion!
My bad!

I just heard from River Pilot (that's his name not his occupation...although he does guide bikers down 66) that the "Santa Fe Diner" (the heavily disguised Valentine Diner) in Winslow has been moved.
Hope it ends up back on 66, and restored.

Shucks...the GIANT ALERT #2 is canceled, as the A&W Rootbeer family has taken off for parts unknown.
But a giant hillbilly stands at the Mule Trading Post!
