I think any one who grew up in the 50's or 60's should visit at least part of Route 66. I driven on some different sections. My favorite is in Arizona. They have preserved an original portion from just west of Flagstaff (Williams I think) to Kingman. You can continue on to Oatman from there. Oatman gets all of the publicity, but I think that the section I discussed is more what a typical drive on it would have been like for Midwesterner or Easterner driving in the Southwest back then. There is a place off of it called Grand Canyon Caverns that is actually a neat little tour of a cave area. We had a Buick rental car. I think you have to drive it with some American iron. Either a Corvette, or a Detroit boat (including station wagons). The Buick rental worked and I know lemko and Uplander would approve! I returned to Flagstaff on I-40 and the drives really are different. Someday I think I'd like to drive the loneliest highway Rt 50 through Nevada and Utah...and don't forget the rock 'n roll oldies CD's.

When we went to Lost Wages Las Vegas last year we took a trip to the Grand Canyon. We decided not to take the interstate and took Rt 66 out of Kingman AZ. They had Burman Shave signs on Rt 66 in three places. My wife got a big kick out of that, didn't have those where she is from. An hour drive south of me oh IL State highway 53 (Rt 66) There used to be one, I need to go down that way to see if it is still there.

Thank you guys, I will try this seeing as how it overheated going to Kingman AZ again =\ Will post my results after doing this. Thanks again!

Found this QUOTE: Took it to Kingman, AZ for Top Speed with Danica Patrick, and on the way there I discovered an annoying driver side A-pillar whistle that seemed to happen above 70 mph when there was a cross-wind blowing through the big desert valleys in the windy eastern CA. Drop below 70 and the loud, annoying whistle goes away, nudge back up again, and there it is in all its ear-piercing painfulness. I have the exact same problem and it sounds like the air being let out of a balloon slowly. Its not the radio or luggage rack.. I think it might be coming in from the firewall or something. Looking forward to the noise throughout our roadtrip vacation. --douglas.wekell@us.army.mil
