Introduction
HOW THE DREAM OF
“Keeping You On The
Mother Road ”
WAS BORN!
One day a friend, Joe Hughes, came
to me with a trip that he thought we
should go on. “Route 66” he said.
So we planned a trip to Joplin where
we turned right on the old route. As we
travelled Route 66 we thought we would
find shops with Route 66 item’s.
Finally in Adrian, TX we found just
such a place. We looked for a book that
would keep us on the route and found
one from 1946 and another from the
1990’s but none that had complete and
up to date information. As we traveled
the “Mother Road” we talked about the
type of publication that would be helpful
and the sections that would be needed
to complete a dream book for Route 66.
As we traveled “The Mother Road” again
the next year we thought we would remember where the turns would be but
we still had a hard time staying on the
old route. The need for a Route 66 travel
guide became more apparent.
