Route 66

I have always dreamed of driving the old highway. I've been on parts of it and know its not all open anymore. Just wondering if any of you have had the opportunity to do the trip.
Before you go, get a copy of, Route 66 Traveler's Guide and Roadside Companion by Tom Snyder, ISBN 0- 312 - 25417 - 2. www.stmartins.com. It's a very detailed turn by turn instruction manual. There's a lot more of the road still there than what a lot of people think.
