I have only driven the length of Rte 66 twice, the first for pure fun back in the late 70s. Other than that, I have traversed sections when I could or when it made for a nice side trip. But with these sidetrips, I think another full trip might be in order just to see these detour destinations.
Organized by state, these excursions are more than just another way to enjoy Americana. Putting Rte 66 aside for a moment, anyone who might be visiting any of these areas or even living close by might benefit from this book. Sometimes we miss the places we live the closest to. I lived in NYC for a couple years and didn't make the trip to the Statue of Liberty until I had moved away and took a friend to see the city.
Even if no physical trips are in your immediate future, this will make for some wonderful armchair traveling. The pictures and the explanations of the sights make for great reading. I didn't try it (yet) but street view on maps might even be fun.
