The biggest section of original 66 in the west is between Kingman AZ and Seligman. Goes through Peach Springs and gives a real feel of the original route.

I do recall driveing next to it back on 2008 when moving..... I mean being dragged there by my Parents. I dont believe you will find many big patches, but you will find some neat stuff. In NM you will find the 66 Burger Joints on the west side of Albuquerque.

Happy Birthday Andy!!!:party: ? I haven't done the whole Rt 66 drive yet but like Brian said the original part through Kingman into Williams is really nice. You'll see some of the original old gas stations and a lot of memorabilia along the way.


Happy Birthday Classic.webp

Joplin to Springfield, MO is my stomping ground. Holler if you need any dinner recommendations.

i would suggest the Black hills area, great scenes to look at and very cool driving areas. Also, from there you can go to Devils tower.
At what point did Route 66 go through South Dakota?

Your guess is as good as mine ?

I was thinking he was referring to AZ but the Black Hills area is on the south side, while 66 is on the North side

I misread the post. I assumed he was doing route 66 and looking for drives next year. In the future I will try to do better to appease yu
Already have been through the black hills area. I’d live there if it didn’t snow so much. Too cold for me.

Devil's tower was the clue.

Was just wondering if I missed something?

Of course you'll have to stop in Winslow, Az to take a pic of "The Corner" with the flat bed Ford !!!
Unfortunately, aside from the corner, not much else to see, and no real good places to eat.
Visited there while we were at Meteor Crater Park which is worth seeing if your in the area.
