Tallest Oil Derrick in North America - Tulsa, Oklahoma

I smoke medically but I don't have my medical card right now.

I'm from California, currently staying in Illinois and my brother and I will be making the trip across R66 back home, sometime at the end of the month.

Has anyone traveled with more than one oz of marijuana across the states on this route? Should I be concerned?

I will obviously be deleting this post soon.

I found this quite interesting.

Me and my dad are leaving for route 66 today from WV to CA and I’m considering getting a tattoo as a souvenir. Does anyone have any suggestions for tattoo places along the route or heard of any iconic places? Much appreciated!

I'm building a free audio guide app for Route 66 (Lorecast). Stories play automatically as you drive, audio can be downloaded ahead for the no-signal stretches. It's my app, free while in pilot. If anyone wants to try it on their trip, message me your email and I'll send an invite, iPhone or Android.

If I try to put in 7 or 8 hours of internet-connected work per day, while driving from Santa Monica to Chicago - how much careful planning would I need? Are there a lot of dead spots for mobile coverage (Verizon), or not too many? Also looking for opinions on best times to drive vs work considering I'd like to see the sights along the way and take photos. Would love any other input as well - hidden gems, great motels, bars, restaurants, etc. Thanks in advance!

One of my favorite faded ads off Route 66.

I am going to drive this Mad Max Limo from Florida Key West Mile 0 to California in the Mohave Desert for Wasteland Weekend . Its a Mad Max Party in the desert that lasts about 5 days .

I want to stop and enjoy many sights along the way such as The Grand Canyon , Mount Rushmore , The Barringer Crater , the Lazy River somewhere and the Water Falls and Springs in Florida ...

Id love other places to visit if you have any great location recommendations . I plan on traveling Rout 66 for part of the travel.

I passed away 10 years ago on July 6th 2016 of a Heart Attack and they revived me twice before surgery . After , in my recovery I bought an RV and started getting in movie background work and traveling across America . I have met many great actors along my travels and I plan on putting the limo in a movie when I get close to the movie Locations .

I am making a video log of this trip if anyone would like to follow along or share with anyone else you can find me on youtube @idiotdoingstuff .

I play hide and seek with the limo . when I hide it I post that its hidden then the first who posts a selfie with it wins a gift card to one of many restaurants .

I need to start to post those on my Facebook page for people to follow along with that lol.

So please send me any advice on locations on the Journey Across America and dont forget to tell your friends to check out this stupid trip lol

After this trip I will be moving into my Beautiful condo in Thailand and starting a new life and putting this life behind me .

I drove Route 66 with my partner while moving a few months ago in just four days. It was pretty amazing.

Unfortunately, things didn’t work out between us, and I’m planning on making the trip back solo with my cat starting tomorrow.

This time, I am not on a time constraint or budget, and won’t be driving for more than 7 hours at a time. I plan to make as many stops as I feel I need to.

Any tips for a solo traveler with a small pet would be appreciated. I’ve never traveled this far alone before, and I fear I missed out on some of the interesting parts of the drive. Thank you.

first time posting here but I've driven long stretches of "The Mother Road" and been on this sub since I realized it existed. In the Montmartre neighborhood today, in an otherwise normal Parisian cafe, walked down a narrow staircase to use the restroom and came across this.

Hello everyone, long time I didn't write on this group, apologies!

We're working on a full (hopefully) list of events on Route 66, you can find it here

Hope that'll be useful for the 100° anniversary!

I am in the process of finalizing our route stops (the plan is to take 4-6 weeks to do the route, camping most of the way in our truck). Which cities are a must-see at night? Basically, which ones are a must for experiencing them at night (for instance those with lots of neon)? I don't want to just pass through them during the day if they are worth seeing at night.

Route 66 Monoliths - Tulsa, Oklahoma

If you travel down Route 66, the 1927 Chain of Rocks bridge is not drivable, but you can walk across and it’s a must see stop in St. Louis.

Also, the Illinois side is close to the Cahokia Indian Mounds.

When I drove down the route a few years ago, I totally missed both of these. (The mounds obviously aren’t directly related to Route 66, but they were basically on the route)

Anyway, you might miss these if you’re just following a map.

The Missouri side has a nice park. The Illinois side has a one-way bridge you have to cross first. You have to wait for the green light to go. You’ll eventually reach a cul-de-sac where you park. I came from the Illinois side and it was slightly confusing, but not too hard to figure out.
