Just found your site. How I remember Route 66. We moved to California in 1942. My dad bought an old 1929 Ford the following year and he built a trailer which he covered with canvas. It took us 3 days and 3 nights to arrive in Arkansas to visit family. There were 5 kids, mom and pop in the car. When dad would get sleepy, he'd pull off and sleep under some type of shade while the kids went crazy or slept in the trailer. Many times, when he was sleepy, he would have me sit on his lap and steer the car. With a 7 year old at the wheel, he couldn't fall asleep. The highway was red for many miles. I loved seeing it. Then there was the teepee motel, that was always a place we looked forward to seeing. It mean we were getting closer. Thanks for this book.

Hi Jerry - I am one of three Australians who stopped by briefly in March; thanks for spending some time highlighting the 'important' bits of the map (they're ALL important!) for us so we could make the most of the short time available. I'm already planning another, slower journey....it's a bit addictive, isn't it? I've never been to Europe, yet I keep returning to the States! Stay well - warm regards, Jenni

We are so excited to be taking this Rouge66 trip in September, 2014 for our 25th wedding anniversary. Already started planning and working on details. Have a lot of work to do before 09/2014...Super excited!

We met several years ago in Tulsa. Great to see you are still keepin'
66 alive and well. Been out of it (66'in)for a little while, lookin' to get back on the road!

Jerry - Good to see you in Tucumcari and talk some 66 stories. I will enjoy the B Swallow print with the purple SSR in front. The man I suggested you contact for great NM stories and his own treasures is ; Bill Gilmore - Rt 66 Chamber of Commerce(?), PO box 1422, Albq.,NM, 87103. - 505-294-8348. He has seen a lot - great friends with late Bob Audette. Has grand old motor home filled with 66 memorabilia. No e-mail as this is not his medium! Worth the effort. Would like for you to consider doing full color illustration of the modern neon arch over Central Ave in east Albuq, heading west towards 9 mile hill, and have vintage cars passing under, both directions, as sun is setting and neon just turned on. I think you would do this justice, whereas most images now are photos and likely photoshopped, to enhance. Just a thought.
Hope to talk with you soon. Keep up great work and enthusiasm.

Craig

I just wanted to say Hello from the Route 66 Mother Road Museum in Beautiful Barstow, California. You came in a last year when you were working on your new guide. I love what you said about the guide. I am one of the few and proud volunteers here at the museum. I love this place and hope lots of people come visit us because of your guide.

Hi Jerry!! We came last October, WB from Chicago to LA. We hope you're fine. We are truly sad by what has happened there. Big hugs from Italy

Jerry –
I just wanted to say how much my wife, my daughter, and I enjoyed our stop in Chandler. It was great to meet you and see your studio. I would encourage others to do so as well. (But please be thoughtful. Arrange your visit and call ahead first.)
I think all of us who use the EZ guide (and the earlier fold-up maps) feel somewhat akin to you as you have talked us all through the route many times. You really are as nice as you seem in the guide and the videos.
Thanks for EZ guide. I still can’t comprehend what you did to put that together.
Todd

Just did Illinois and part of Missouri and really enjoyed it, with the great help from your guide.
We have Second Edition (ordering Third now), so the following may have been updated already:
Snowflake DriveIn, Berwyn, Ill. Appears to be gone, all we found was a concrete slab. But the nearby Hoffman Tower is worth the side trip to that section.
Williamsville, Ill: Dream Car Museum closed, but the Die Cast Car place is worth the stop.
Gardenway Motel in Gray Summit, Mo is not aging well and not being kept clean.
Favorites with two thumbs up:
Cozy Dog in Springfield, Ill
Rich and Creamy in Joliet,
Henry's Drive In in Cicero
Eat-Rite Diner and Ted Drewes in St. Louis
Docs Soda Fountain in Girard, Ill
