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!

La bajada Hill on Aug 27, 2019 at 2:33:55 pm [Print]
All access to the old route down La Bajada Hill, from below and above, has been cut off. I never recommended trying to reach the top of the mesa from the Santa Fe side...but just want to let you know in case you are following other info. The bottom, as i reported last year or so, has been gated off and cant be approached from that direction, not even to reach the old bridge at the bottom.

Gasconade river bridge on Aug 03, 2019 at 12:12:32 am [Print]
MO page-17: You can now drive old 66 between exit 145 and exit 140 east of Lebanon. A new outer road bridge has been opened, bypassing the closed and endangered 1923 Gasconade river bridge. You do NOT have to "JOIN I-40 WEST or EAST anymore. There is a side road that will let you get closer to the old bridge.

I have it on reliable authority that the FOLK ART ALERT on this page is now abandoned and overgrown and not worth a visit anymore.

The Vintage iron Motorcycle Museum appears to be defunct. I looked in the dusty windows last Sunday and there was no merchandise on the gift shop shelves, and the rest looked empty, with just a few bikes visible in a back room.

I tried to call the number on their website, which still indicates it is OPEN (as do other websites), but no luck.

Looking at recent reviews, I found many from disappointed would be visitors reporting that it had liquidated and closed this year.

Just a reminder that since the last edition Gay Parita has indeed been reopened by the late Gary Turner's daughter Barb and her husband George. Good folks!
