Arrived in Los Angeles last night after two weeks of doing Route 66 starting in Chicago. Throughout the trail your book was of invaluable assistance. We attempted as many of the side trips as possible, and the giant alerts particularly amused us. The turkey tracks was one of our more amusing stops. The maps and directions helped us in many tight spots. We passed by your home town but unfortunately it was late on a Sunday evening and thought it best not to disturb you. Thank you again.

Posted by: John Tall on 1 - Jul 27, 2014 at 8:15:04 am [remove] - [jtall2671@yahoo.com] Hi Jerry
It's always been a bucket list item to do 66. Preferably on a motorcycle. Well the chance came last month, but by rental suv as we would be taking a grand daughter and niece with us. I'm here to tell you that I think it was better this way the first time since I navigated while the wife drove. I believe we were able to get in my sites than had we went on a bike and we were left to my wife's non-navigating skills. After a few days on the road, i figured out the book was not exactly in the order you would see things (looks like they were doing the trip headed EAST...in which case the text is unavoidably slanted towards the westbound orientation..McJerry). So i started reading a couple pages ahead because we made numerous u-turns the first few days. I coupled the book with the gps files I put on my computer and the Good Sam gps to try to see most everything. Now that it's done, my wife and I will still be planning to bike the route one day. Our house to Chicago, 66 and then back home. 19 days and 5750 miles. I'd do it again tomorrow if I could. Too many good folks along the way we would like to visit with again.

It was great meeting you as we traveled the 66 portion of our 5,600 mile trip around the US. Thanks for your hospitality and for your EZ Guide which helped us find fun places we would have otherwise missed!

Jerry - I felt I had to get in touch my wife, daughter and myself have just come back from the States (live in UK)where we navigated Route 66 using your guide! (and survived to tell the tale)

I have to tell you it has been one of the most fantastic experiences of my life - we used your guide in conjunction with a restaurant/diner selection as seen on either man versus food or diners, drive-ins and dives which added to the fun and indigestion!

We spent a total of 15 nights but feel we missed a lot and took some additional side trips off the route (Grand Canyon & Vegas).

I have to say it was a special time for us - loads to learn and see

Regards - Peter,Debra and Amy Savage

Hi Jerry,
We met back in 09 when I and 14 other Corvettes stopped by your gallery and then we drove to the Rock Cafe in Stroud for lunch. I'm driving my 59 back across country starting next week and will be coming through Chandler next Saturday the 12th. If time permits, I'll stop by and say hey.
Bob

Hello Jerry, We purchased your EZ66 guide during our stay at The Blue Swallow to aid me in our eastward migration home. Excellent guide. Thank you very much for the excellent detail given with regard to routes,re-alignments, and bridges. I felt like a kid on Christmas moring as I eagerly awaited my arrival to the next concrete or pony bridge. I really enjoyed driving down the old routes, or at least veiwing them as we passed by.
We stopped in Chandler to see your gallery but may have missed you as it appeared to be closed, Saturday morning of 6-28.
Thanks again for your great work.

Hi Jerry, just wanted to let you know that my wife and I used your guide book as we drove through Missouri today - what a delight, it was perfect, thank you.

My father and I have talked about doing Route 66 for years. We finally got started. In November 2012, we did Chicago to Joplin. Last year was St. Louis (catching some things we missed in MO) to Albuquerque - and we added my wife as the official EZ66 navigator. She went just to help me - but enjoyed the trip so much that later just for her, she and I did a Joplin east to Chicago. Finally on May 19, 2014 the 3 of us headed out for 2 weeks - knowing it was 5 days of travel just to get to NM and then back home from California. Staying at the Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas NM we started the Santa Fe Loop. 3 Harvey Houses, 2 WigWams, Oatman Burros, a full day in the Petrified Forest, Two Guns and passing 100's of BNSF trains. Then at 6:30 PST Sunday May 25th - a photo of me and my father standing under the RT66 sign on the Santa Monica Pier. It is the trip of a lifetime - and more important 4 weeks helping my father, at the age of 89, check off the biggest item on his bucket list.

Now there is a problem - my obsession self wants to go do Dirt66 etc for many more trips. And my 89 year old father - he is now talking the Lincoln highway. The Lincoln Highway had lots of information on-line - but no McJerry or an EZ guide or Here It Is maps. I cannot imagine doing Route 66 without the guide. So for helping me achieve one of the greatest thing in my life - the weeks with my father while he is still with me - I want to thank you.

Hi Jerry, Just ploughing through your guide making a few notes for our trip which we start on 17th June in Chicago. Our booking included the 'River Pilot' which I hope will compliment EZ66, I can see a few possible issues (side trips and loops which you cover so well) but hopefully we'll make it :)
Hope to see you around the 22nd if you're home. Really looking forward to it.
