If you’re preparing to get your RV kicks on Route 66, then pack along this pocket-sized guide. It’s not about the Route 66 of today, but about what it was like 50 years ago when author Jack Rittenhouse made the trip in his 1939 Bantam coupe, gathering material for what is thought to be the Mother Road’s first guidebook. Compare what you find today on the route from Chicago to Los Angeles with what Rittenhouse describes in this pocket-sized exact facsimile of the road guide of a half-century ago. The “Guide Book to Highway 66” explains what was along the route back then on a mile-by-mile basis. Learn about the cafes, roadside trading posts, mountain passes, natural attractions, and tourist courts -- some of which still exist like the famous “Wigwam Motel” in Holbrooke, Arizona. Even though Route 66 was bypassed years ago, most of the old route still exists, all paved. And virtually all of it is easily negotiated by all but the largest RVs. Thanks to the efforts of national and state Route 66 associations, tourist traffic has increased on the historic highway allowing many businesses of yesteryear to carry on. You will love this guide. Do not travel Route 66 without it. Originally published in 1946. 128 pages.
