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!

Whoops! Finally discovered that they don't actually post I-444 signs on the short stretch of freeway that runs along the south side of downtown Tulsa! Its just some sort of administrational designation. So when the directions or map says I-444, replace with US 75 and 64!

There is now a ROUNDABOUT at the intersection of 11th, Elgin and 10th in TULSA.
Just curve around from 11th onto 10th (or from 10th onto 11th).
Or go around in circles for hours.:-)

The bike trail sign at Welch Rd is missing. Due to this (and to get latest regulations) I advise checking at the Williams Ranger District at 742 S Clover in Williams (928) 635-5600 before attempting either trail.
Do NOT attempt access from Monte Carlo Rd EXIT 149.
I found listings for bike rentals in Flagstaff, but (oddly) none in Williams.

The Auto -Tour sign west of Bellemont is GONE. Damn vandals. A few are still left..but I expect them to go missing someday.
Update: I witnessed this sign as GONE in August. Got a report in October that it was back up...but that ANOTHER was missing.
Expect to be suprised.

Got a report this morning that the famous and historic "Eisler Brothers" store is evidently now called "Nelsons." So look for that name on the bldg.

The car game has changed a bit due to the adoption of the blue and white "Historic 66 Byway" signs, instead of the former brown and white signs!
