Pretty neat! My Mom always wanted to do the entire route, one day I hope we can do it for her.

I've always liked the Afton, Grand Lake area. I need to get back up there before too long and go through Darryl Starbyrds Custom Car Museum again. There are some true works of art in there.

we should put together a Marauder run on route 66

I rarely see a Marauder here, there have been a few locals on this board from time to time. I sold my Black Marauder and am looking for a Silver Marauder or LX SPORT.I work with the Postal Service.

My Son and I drove the route from Tulsa to Springfield, when he was about 11, just for kicks. Lots of places to stop and look.......

A little history...

The birthplace of US Route 66 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Route_66), it was in Springfield, MO on April 30, 1926 that officials first proposed the name of the new Chicago-to-Los Angeles highway.[10] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springfield,_Missouri#cite_not e-10)
John T. Woodruff of Springfield was elected as the first president of the U.S. Highway 66 Association (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Highway_66_Association), organized in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1927. Its purpose was to get U.S. Highway 66 paved from end to end and to promote tourism on the highway. In 1938, Route 66 became the first completely paved United States Numbered Highways (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Numbered_Highway s) in America — the “Mother Road” — stretching from the Great Lakes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Lakes) to the Pacific Coast (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Coast).
A placard in Park Central Square was dedicated to the city by the Route 66 Association of Missouri, and traces of the Mother Road are still visible in downtown Springfield along Kearney Street, Glenstone Avenue, College and St. Louis streets and on Missouri 266 to Halltown. The red booths and gleaming chrome in mom-and-pop diners, the stone cottages of tourist courts and the many service stations along this route saw America fall in love with the automobile. Red's Giant Hamburg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red%27s_Giant_Hamburg), said to be the birthplace of the drive-up order window, was located on the route.
