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 here.

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!

We had another good stay at the Route 66 Motel (the one with the old cars and windmill, etc in the courtyard) in Barstow last month.

UPDATE; Since then, I have heard some credible complaints. It may depend on the room you get. I suggest asking to see a room first.

Just got a report from Don that the Route 66 Museum in the Powerhouse visitor center is no longer open on Sunday. That could change...its hard to keep up with changes in operation at the many museums! I suggest checking ahead by phone or on their websites to avoid disappointment.
