Whoops! meant to tell you that the Motorcycle Museum at Seaba Station in Warwick is NOW OPEN!

Its pretty cool and well worth the stop if you are into vintage bikes or cool old gas stations (Seaba was a DX station, and then a machine shop).

The Giant surfer dude and pink elephant that once where here are now at Livingston at the "Gymnasim" antique mall. This is off EXIT 37 on the 1950s era 66 (not part of the tour but worth a detour). They also have a flying saucer-like structure, etc.

Well, Route 66 lost another nice little bridge...a little brick-guard-railed structure on Cambridge Road between Girard ans Nilwood on the official 1926-1930 routing.

It is currently being replaced, and a detour will be in effect until work is done.

Also the affected map shows a side road (not 66), Greenbridge Rd, that connects to current IL 4 from Cambridge Rd...this is now blocked at the RR tracks.

Thanks to Kevin and Yvonne.

Its too late to wave HI or BYE to the Giant Indian that was in Clinton...he's moved to a trading post across from the easternmost Cherokee trading post on I-40.

ROUTE 66 State Park: The old Route 66 bridge across the Meramec River that connected the east and west half of this park is now closed for "safety reasons."

For Route 66 travelers, access to the visitor's center and its exhibits will be most important. As before, exit I-44 at Exit 266 (Lewis Road).

But you won't be able to cross the bridge into the main park.

According to MODOT, here are directions to access the park on the west side of the river:

To access the park from westbound I-44, exit at Route 109 and turn around and take eastbound I-44. Exit at Williams Road, and take the first left onto the south outer road. Follow the outer road into the Route 66 State Park.

To access the park from eastbound I-44, exit at Williams Road, and take the
first left onto the south outer road. Follow the outer road into the Route 66 State Park.

The La Posada De Albuquerque is now the Hotel Andaluz, reopened as a "botique hotel" after a $30 million renovation with 107 rooms and suites.
For green-minded folks, this is now the only silver-LEED-certified hotel in New Mexico and the only hotel on the National Register of Historic Places that is LEED-certified at any level.

At last (and ahead of schedule) the intersection of Broadway Ext/US 77, Memorial and Kelley on the south side of EDMOND has been completed!

Historic 66 signs are posted to direct you WB travelers onto Kelley, which now connects straight thru at Memorial and under Broadway Extension. Ditto for EB drivers...just follow the signs to move from Kelley to Broadway.

Good Mom and Pop motels are hard to come by, so i wanted to point out one that was given a great review by a nice young couple from Belgium who visited my gallery today.

The Chelsea Motor Inn (NOT the old, closed Chelsea Motel) seems to be a great little place run by Trudy and Frank, who also have a pet buffalo!

Just to clarify: If you happen to be headed Eastbound on I-44 and want to join Old 66 near Halltown, you can't do it via EXIT 57. That only allows WB access to MO 96, NOT EB. If eastbound, You'll need to go on to EXIT 58 and go back thru Halltown.
