They just get me sooo excited! I think I need to look at historic66.com every morning before I start the daily push. That should give me the extra push I need to get rid of this crap so that I can hit the road. Thanks for this great resource! I have been looking over those two sites for the last couple of days.

The entry there has alot of good info about the history of the "mother road". For more detail, check out historic66.com, which looks to be an awesome site. It has a thorough route description, maps, etc... lots of great info. There are also lots of travel guides and articles written in print about it; I don't really know any titles offhand though.

I didn't even know about the whole Interstate 40 thing. Obviously, we need to do some research before we head out. You've got me especially excited about the New Mexico/Arizona leg of the trip. Isolation is exactly what I'm looking for! If you can think of anything else, let me know. I'm all ears. Thanks for the heads up. I didn’t even know about the whole Interstate 40 thing.

Get good maps and/or travel guides of the route, since much of it is now well off the main road. Well worth seeing, though. Some of the sections through New Mexico and Arizona are rather desolate, but quite beautiful in their isolation. Crossing the continental divide in New Mexico is a nice milestone. Northwest Texas is not worth slowing down for; Amarillo is an armpit. Unless you need to stop for gas, just keep going until you reach Tucumcari, NM. (which is also small and run-down, but is mostly off the new highway 40 main drag and has more of the old route 66 feel) All in all, sounds like an awesome trip!
