Jerry,
We just finished our Rt. 66 trip in Chicago July 23, 2015 from Tucson, Arizona. The trip was awesome and your book invaluable in making our trip a complete success. It was a pleasure meeting you, we enjoyed your gallery and hospitality.

Jerry,
Just purchased your EZ66 Guide through Amazon.com, should have bought it BEFORE our trip from L.A. to Flagstaff, AZ last week. It is still interesting to read through after the trip, and will come in handy when we take our next trip on Route 66 to explore the road to the east of Flagstaff on into New Mexico.
My wife and I took the Mother Road from San Bernardino to Needles on 7/18, jumped up to Laughlin to overnight, and then picked up Route 66 driving east on AZ 68 from Bullhead city into Kingman, AZ. We drove every portion of the historic road we could from Kingman to Williams. Loved the Burmashave signs posted along the roadway throughout Arizona. Americana at its best!

Hi Jerry,
We're over from Australia and doing the route backwards, your EZ66 guide has been invaluable. We've been on the road for 13 days and having a great time, 5 to go. We called into your place today on the way through but you didn't answer. Anyway, wanted to let you know that the Rock Creek Bridge on the Ozark Trail in Sapulpa (OK page 14) is open but restricted to 4 tons and 7'2" height. We've done nearly all the side trips and have gotten to see so much more than from just following the main road. Have had to double back a few times as heading east we missed a few turns, but has all added to the adventure. Thanks.
Kind regards
Glen Burns

Greetings all,
I am planning on leaving SW Florida 7/20 driving to Las Vegas then heading back to Kingman AZ and driving East along the Route leaving Litchfield IL and ending in Michigan to visit family. I took the original 66 from Detroit in 1959 and again in 1961...Curious to see whats left of the Mother Road...Thanks to all for the updates.

Greetings traveler! We just got back this weekend from 2 weeks on the Road. Used mostly 40's configuration to hit all we could West of Rolla, Missouri. Got to meet Harvey Russell in Erick, OK along the way, so that was a special treat! Got to meet some folks from Denmark as we all got a little turned around on the Ribbon Road in Oklahoma. I think the area around Sitgreaves Pass and the folks in Oatman. I DID stop and explore Shaffer's Fish Bowl Springs in Arizona. Found a nice rock nearby to dip in the Springs and keep as my least expensive (and most treasured) souvenir of the trip. Thanks so much for your book. It made it possible for us to take this journey at our own pace, with no real destination in mind other than whatever adventure was waiting for us right around the corner. I'll send a separate email with updates regrading closed bridges and such we found along the way.

Hi Jerry, we just arrived back in Australia after doing 66 a couple of weeks ago. We are still on a high from doing the trip. We met you at the Blue Swallow and you were kind enough to sign our EZ 66 guide. Unfortunately we went to a McDonalds in LA to clarify the last bit of the drive to Santa Monica and my wife put the book down and that is the last we saw of it. Apart from you Fran and Angel signed it as well. We are so disappointed but are attempting to get another copy from Fran in Adrian. If that doesn't pan out, I will have to make other arrangements.

Hello Jerry, we visited you June 1 2015, thank you so much for your hospitality and your signing our EZ 66 guide. Well we made it to the end and on schedule. Yep, got lost a few times, lots of laughs, met so many terrific people along the way and got to enjoy so many diners, hotels/motels, museums, gift shops,roadside attractions of all sorts. Your book was our bible from beginning to end.
Kindest regards

Hey Jerry-
My buddies and I are traveling the Mother Road from Chicago to Santa Monica this October in our '48 Pontiac Silver Streak. It is being made road worthy as I write. Have read your EZ Guide from cover to cover in preparation for our trip. Thank you for all the insightful and detailed information- it will be indespensible to us on our adventure. I first made the trip as a 6 yr old when our family moved from KS to CA in our '53 Ford in 1955. We started in Garden City, drove south to Amarillo, then west to CA. Since we basically started in the middle of R66, I count that as having only made half the journey. These many years later we'll cover the whole route. Hoping to meet you as we drive through Chandler. See you then.

Hi Jerry, I plan to depart July 6th, 2015 from Downers Grove, IL on a Route 66 road trip to SantaFe. My daughter lives there. I hope to see you in Chandler! I have your book and map. I will be flying from SantaFe to LA to visit my son so I can explore 66 there. Can't wait to start on my journey.

Thank you so much for your maps and EZGuide. They are our bible!! We are spending tonight in Conway, TX (doing 66 backwards) and will probably be going through Chandler day after tomorrow, and would just love to visit you in your gallery. This trip is truly wonderful because of your information.

Thank you so much for your wonderful EZ Guide and the map series. I don't think this trip would have been possible without them. We are spending the night in Conway, TX and probably will be in your area day after tomorrow and would just love to visit with you at your gallery. We were at the RT 66 event at the Autry Museum and enjoyed it so much.
