From the Author
This title was inspired by the early road trips I took with my parents and later, the tours of discovery I made on Highway 66. From early childhood to present day, I've been fascinated with roadside America and the many amazing sights that may be found there. And that's where 66 comes in: Along the "Mother Road," today's adventurers may still travel back into the past! Motorists that take the time to look will find tourist courts with dramatic neon, filling stations where attendants wipe the windows, drive-in diners that serve food by carhop, and tourist attractions that set the imagination free! Packed with full-color images taken by myself and other talented photographers of the roadside genre, this title is a veritable scrapbook of the old road. It's a must-read for anyone with a hankering to hit the open road and a desire to get their "kicks on Route 66!"
