EDIT UPDATE:
OK, looking to try this trip again. Last time I started this trip I had to return home because of a family emergency.
I’m thinking of leaving sometime the week of Oct. 5th. Anyone care to join me?
I’m still working on the route and will be able to send you the route and itinerary soon. This is a westbound trip. I plan to begin in Clinton, OK (heading up from Waco) and then head west to Santa Monaca Pier, CA.
I plan to stay as true to the “Old” Rt. 66 as possible. Some of this may in fact turn out to be a dual sport type road as I plan to take many of the Pre-1937 routes that are now nothing but unpaved trails. Note that when I say Dual Sport, I am talking about unpaved routes not dirt-biking.
A good portion of the trip will be camping (about 50%). The other nights I plan to stay in historic Rt. 66 hotels/motels, etc.
Let me know if you are interested in joining me for this or any part of this trip.
I’m about to take a westward bound trip to LA via Rt. 66. Will be leaving form central Texas (Waco area), going to Clinton, OK and from there heading to LA via Rt. 66.
Planning to leave May 12 and figure to take me about 7 days to get there. Anyone want to join me?
To the best of my ability, I plan to try to stay on the old Rt. 66.. Will camp about half the time and stay in some Rt. 66 historic motels (dives) the other half. Be forewarned: I have a camera and I’m not afraid to use it. Meaning that I plan to stop at just about every Rt. 66 tourist trap along the way (that’s why its going to take me a week to get there)
If you’re interested send me a PM with your email address and I’ll send you details of my route plan.
