Just wanted to drop a line and say "thanks" for your hospitality on our recent visit at your gallery. We are the couple yhat visited you driving the 70 yellow corvette. We really enjoyed meeting you and want to thank you again for the wonderful guide. We had a wonderful route 66 trip and can't wait to do it again.

Despite the error, the link DOES end up at my publisher's website. Just clik on the tab labeled "Route 66 store" (above where the error message appears) and you'll be able to see the EZ Guide and other books offered.
At least that's the way it works on my browser!

Thought I would let you know that your link to the "ez" guide no longer works. When you click on this link... If you wish to purchase your own copy of the EZ Guide, please go here. The national66.org sites page says "Error 404 - Not Found"
Just an FYI :-)

Jerry
We finished our R66 run just over a week ago and have since returned to the UK and have been reflecting on the journey. We drove all of the way from Chicago to Santa Monica with no directions other than your guide, neither map nor satnav were needed nor missed. I think I need to revise upwards my estimation of the value of your guide.
We did a few touristy things along the way (Monument Valley - superb; Grand Canyon - vastly overhyped) but for us the road was always the winner. We met some fantastic people along the way. All the people who are keeping the spirit of the road alive in maintaining businesses (diners, museums etc) and all of the drivers/riders were always kind, generous and helpful. It is a trip we shall not forget and without your guide we would have missed so much. When we do this try again, we will know better what to do and what not to do; although the latter is confined only to the miserable 4 hour drive into Santa Monica from San Bernadino. To enter the maelstrom of the city and the aggressiveness of the drivers after so much peacefulness and solitude of the road was an eye-opener.

Hi Jerry =) I got your book in preparation for my big move from Los Angeles to Chicago. I would love to get you to autograph my copy of the book along the way. I should be in your city around 11/8 - plans will be finalized soon. I was wondering if you would be around. Talk to you soon, Jenny

Hi, I'm the Oldham County Chamber of Commerce Director in Vega, Texas. I recently had some visitors from England give me your information. I appreciate all you do for Route 66, and want to keep you informed on all that's happening on our piece of it. (Wildorado, Vega, Adrian.) Thanks for helping us better serve our travelers. Deborah Sue

Thanks, Nick. About the Oatman Hwy caution...I have to take into consideration ALL types of drivers. To some people this IS a very scary road...no fooling. Some of the turns are indeed tight, and the lack of guard rails in places can be intimidating. I agree with you...it IS a fantastic road, and I always reccommend it (but not to big RVs). Thanks for the kind words(and the feedback on the Tumbleweed in Texola).

A thumbs up for tumbleweed at Texola. We stopped there a few days ago. Really friendly owner.
I think your caution over the Oatman Highway a tad misleading. The road is not very sterp, the turns not tight (unless you are in a very large vehicle). We spoke with a Dutch Harley rider (and tour guide, he was annotating his EZ guide) and he said to not worry. We did not and the road was fantastic!
Indeed your EZ guide is a superb guide.

Hi Jerry,
It was a pleasure to meet you on the 10th Sept, your passion for this route is evident. Having got as far as Holbrook up to now I can see why,we are having a great time.
Just to let you know if you don't already, Grants cafe in Grant is now closed down.

Hi Jerry - I am driving R66 with my husband and find your guide Edition 3 invaluable - would not be without it. We are currently sheltering from a thunderstorm in Tucumari and just thought you would like to know (sorry if you so already) that the Quayles Art Gallery appears to be empty and up for sale. Warm regards, Carol
