I cannot believe that i misspleled the name of the MITLA Cafe in San Bernardino all this time! Argh! I recently had breakfast there (they open at 9 am) and it was great...they even had the EZ guide for sale...I felt so guilty...

Eastbound aproaching Wellston and 66B from Luther:

You can NO longer "veer left" to join eastbound 66B at the Y JCT with OK 66. Instead, continue about 4 tenths of a mile, turn LEFT at the HWY 102 JCT, then next RIGHT onto Hwy 66B into Wellston as before.

WB directions are NOT affected

The AUTO TOUR sign west of Bellemont is MISSING!

Update: but it may be back again...and another one gone! Just be aware that ANY of these signs could vanish.

ADVISORY: Be sure to admire the Indian stuff (located just east of EXIT 242 on the north outer road) from your car as you drive right on past.

I will be changing the EZ tour route in the upcoming 3rd edition, from the Illinois side of the Chain of Rocks Bridge to Downtown St Louis. This will involve following IL Hwy 3 south from I-270 EXIT 3. (note..this is a substitute road and not 66) The tour route will cross the McKinley Bridge (the 1926 era crossing of Rte 66) and there join I-70 to St Louis (another substitute road). This way is easier and usually quicker..although at times of heavy traffic, the 2 lane bridge may get tied up a bit by stoplights at I-70 and at IL 3. After talking with EZ guide users, it seemed that an EZ-er way from Mitchell to St Louis would be welcomed.

WB: From the JCT of Chain of Rocks Rd south of EXIT 3, join Hwy-3 SOUTH towards ST Louis. Take HWY 3 for @ 7.3 mi, then stay AHEAD (AVOID the Hwy 3 turn at the Broadway light) to follow the divided 4 lane as it curves up to enter MISSOURI via McKinley Bridge. Follow the signs “To East I-70,” cross I-70, then quick LEFT onto 11th, then join East I-70 south to downtown ST LOUIS.


EB: Follow I-70 north from downtown ST LOUIS. Take EXIT 248A, cross Salisbury, then quick-turn RIGHT on McKinley Bridge, across the river into ILLINOIS. Curve down, then, at the upcoming Broadway St light, stay AHEAD onto Hwy 3 (NO turn). Go @ 7.3 mi, to Chain of Rocks Rd. Turn RIGHT and resume following the tour.

There is now a traffic circle on the west side of Rolla, MO instead of the stoplight. WB: Just before reaching EXIT 184, curve thru the roundabout onto MARTIN Springs road. EB: at the west exit interchange, curve thru the roundabout onto Kings Hwy ? BL 44.

They took the overpsass OUT! The one supposed to be at Country Club Dr at the east side of Flagstaff, that is. So, at that intersection, just keep following BL 40/180/Route 66 into town (no need to pass under any underpass now!) EB, just say ahead with Hwy 89.

sheesh!

BTW...forget about 89A in the directions...its now US 180 thru Flagstaff.

sheesh x 2

Do NOT try to access the west end of the bike tour at Monte Carlo Rd EXIT 149. A reader recently ran into an unpleasant individual there. And it appears to be blocked off anyway. Enter and leave by Welch Road EXIT 151 (and use caution). Also. the Bike Trail sign GONE! And a sign on the forest road says that wheeled vehicles are permitted only on roads shown on the "official map"...but there is NO official map! argh. The bike tour sign is still up at Devil Dog Road.

Well, you win some and lose some. With all of the businesses along 66 being restored or redecorated (Boots, Wagon Wheel, the gas stations in Tucumcari) the very town I chose to live in has thrown away one of its few remaining Route 66 relics.

The classic old gas station next door to the funeral home (how fitting) and across the side street from the Phillips 66 (thankfully undergoing restoration) has unceremoniously been demolished. Just what Chandler needs...another vacant lot!

Chandler still has plenty to enjoy...the restored Armory that houses the Rte 66 Interpretive Center (which some people had wanted to demolish), the aforementioned classic Phillips 66, the Lincoln motel, a historic downtown...but the town has lost another bit of history.
