The concrete totem pole just outside of Welston is now gone. I do have some photos that I took of each head two years ago.

Hi, Your EZ 66 made for a trip of a life time, we travelled the full way from Chicago to Santa Monica Pier. Met some amazing people along the way and saw so much. Thanks for making the trip so easy

Hello, IL page 16: GIANT Abe Lincoln has been relocated (again) to the parking lot of corner of old R 66 (I55) and Country Road, facing R 66.
NM page 22: road 118 is closed due to bridge reconstruction (Noth of exit 8)
I wonder if we could exchange website links. Thanks. Zsolt. www.ridingroute66.us

Jerry, my wife and I found your EZ66 book invaluable when we drove Route 66 in August 2007 - don't know how we would have coped without it! Earlier in the year I made a website based on our experiences to help others plan their own road trip (www.drivingroute66.com) and the members of the related Facebook group have also helped me create a new site all about maps and guidebooks (www.route66-maps.com). Why am I telling you this? Because you have a heck of a load of fans from all over the world because I had countless messages of praise for all your books and maps :-) Hopefully I'll get to return to the States in the near future and drive 66 again with the latest EZ66 edition :-D Keep up the good work, Steve.

Hi Jerry,
We were in Chandler last Sunday/Monday (08/08-09/10) and it was closed, except for the Lincoln Motel, which is now run by industrious new owners, and the movie theater which was great. We drove past your gallery and read the sign on the door, but it was late and we were moving on to Arcadia. Anyway, we used your maps for Missouri (met Ramona at the Munger-Moss and Sherman Britt who now owns Winks in Lebanon; Gary Turner's daughter Jeanette and his wife Lena), the Rainbow Bridge and 4 Women on the Route in Kansas (Melba in Galena kept us for an hour and a half), and Oklahoma (There's a great DX Station with vintage Packards in Afton; we had an insider's tour of the Coleman Theater, a stop at Vintage Iron and then at the Blue Whale, the Seaba Station, and at last a listen to the grand storyteller/historian at the Red Barn.) We were thrilled that you included so much information and insight, especially about the 9 foot wide "ribbon road" section outside of Miami. Other riders on the road who we met were from England, Spain, Italy, France, and Canada. We had to turn left after Pops, toward Oklahoma City and points east, and then returned to Maryland safely via Hot Springs Arkansas, the length of Tennessee, and the entirety of Virgina. Phew. The 1992 black Corvette Coupe did very well, and it was a wonderful 10 days on the Mother Road.

Thanks Jerry, for your tireless research in mapping out the entire Route 66 & your extra info on neat sites to look for to further enjoy Americana! We drive from Santa Monica to Chicago in 10 days, so we would never have made it without your EZGuide & those EB directions! They were perfect! Needed some help to find the Chain of Rocks bridge though. It was so worth searching for--to walk over the mighty Miss. river was a blast! We want to go back & try to catch all we missed--need 4 weeks! The EZ Guide is a great publication! We met Angel D. in Seligman, Bill @ Shea's, Dan Rice, Gary Turner, Renee, Melba, & Tow Tater in GAlena, & more! Stayed in the Wigwam Motel in CA, got caught in a field fire near Funk's Grove, ran into the FEDEX filming their new electric car on the Rainbow Bridge in Riverton, KS. Something cool around every corner of Route 66! And we would not have found it without your book! Thanks!

Hi, Jerry: Trust you are enjoying the festivities at the Tri State Festival and you are leaving a footprint of artistry along the way. Your guidebook keeps us "on the road" even from a distance! I send regrets for not being in Oklahoma during the Festival, however, my heart remains connected to "The Mother Road". Lorrie - Founder CR66A
