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?

The biggest 'issue' I have with the trip is the idiots that designed I-40. The locals tout Route 66 etc. etc. However, when they built I-40 they left portions of Route 66 as frontage roads. Pretty cool until you're 15 miles down the road and it ENDS!. Nothing irritates more than having to turn around and go back. The least they could have done is made an entrance ramp back onto the Interstate where the road ended. It is a cool trip though. I remember, as a kid, traveling that road from Pasadena to Detroit every summer. Getting the trains to blow their horns as we feasted at one of the roadside tables. In Oatman Az, you can feed the donkeys on main street, in Seligman, you can eat at the Road Kill Cafe, in Oklahoma there's the wigwam village and the Blue Whale, enjoy the trip....Dennis
