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!

Instead of WEST I-55 it should say SOUTH in the WB directions.

People keep having trouble seeing the Blue Whale! Its sitting off to the right(Westbound)in a pond, down lower than the road.

Please look at the detailed directions as to the Whale's location, both in the driving directions and in the text and detail map.

If you can see the old Arrowood Trading Post, the Blue Whale entrance is on the other side of Oklahoma State Highway 66!

Westbound, if you come to the Rice Street stoplight, you've missed it. Turn around and go back.

The Blue Whale is NOT on the OPTION.

Got some updates from Carl today!
WB (westbound) after you cross over I-55 south of Waggoner, to turn right on "Old Route 66", the sign is missing!

Don't continue tocross the rr at grade here. Just turn right onto the first road after crossing over I-55.

This is not a goof, but very occasionally people are confused when taking the BELLVUE OPTION. For some reason they turn right (north) on Hwy 48 instead of SOUTH (left).

I don't know why they go astray here. But it happened again last week. So be sure to follow the map.

On Ca page 13, in the WB (westbound) directions, I hit the wrong key! In the third sentence, it should say "At the stoplight for 7th St/BL 15..." NOT BL 55! LOL

This site has the latest info on the recently washed out bridges. You can still get to Amboy from Essex by using I-40 west to Kelbaker Rd, then south to rejoin 66 to Amboy.
