Thinking of taking Route 66 from Chicago to California.
Would like suggestions on taking the famous Route 66. Leaving Miami to either Chicago or California. Is the trip worth seeing? Roads good? Must see do or stops? Rv parks available?

We did the 1929-1932 Route 66 from Springfield, Il to needles, CA.
Some of the true Route 66 is not for todays RVs. Some bridges are low, very narrow road sections and curvy.
We got a couple of books. "EZ66 guide for Travelers" by Jerry McClanahan (ISBN 978-0-9709951-9-3) and "Route 66" by Tom Snyder(ISBN 978-0-312-64425-3). The EZ Guide is much better.
There is many stops shown in EX66 Guide like turkey tracks in concrete roadway, actual stops that were there during the period.
Route 66 follows much of I-40 so there is campgrounds.
I would suggest getting the EX66 Guide, go through it with a highlighter.
