I would do some more research. As Jim said Route 66 is no longer an official highway. Much of itis hidden under I-40 but there are some places you can drive the old road.

I'm finding that out........we'll definitely need to do some research. Since we won't be leaving till March or April we've got a little time.
Thanks for your help Bill.

There are sections with some of the original road-side attractions, cafes, etc. Other sections have been taken over by the Interstate, and other sections are no longer in good enough condition to actually drive on.
Check out sites like this to see if you can find a section you want to travel:

Depending on which part of Route 66 you want to visit, there are some that are still well maintained and great for travel. Best to do a little research though.
I'll check this site out and do some research. I really appreciate your input.
Thanks

We're going to West Los Angeles late April or early March. We haven't firmed that up yet.

My wife and I live in Iowa and would like to take a trip along Route 66. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips? We have a Class A motor coach and tow a car.
Thanks in advance for your help.
