Tell me your opinion of why I would want to rethink it. Since you have the experience of being there I would value your input. Thanks.
CaptJohn, I didn't see where responded. My guess would be Route 66 is like many of the towns we traveled through when I was a kid. . . drying up because of the interstate system. I've always wanted to see parts of it myself, as we grew up "getting our kicks on Route 66"! I've seen some shows on tv that showed parts of Route 66, and from what they showed it would make you cry. Much of the areas they showed almost looked abandoned or at least closed up. Just my opinion.
