Periodically, I get e-mails from the good folks at Roadside America, informing me about updates to the site.
The latest edition has few new reader tips that should be of interest to Route 66 fans:
- The big cross just off Route 66 in Edmond, Okla. It’s big, but not nearly as huge as the one just off 66 in Groom, Texas.
- The late Larry Baggett’s Trail of Tears memorial near Jerome, Mo.
- The gas station ghost off old 66 at Bristow, Okla.
And here are Route 66-related field reports from Roadside America editors:
- The world’s longest map of Route 66 at Meteor City Trading Post in Arizona.
- The restoration of the Cool Springs Camp between Oatman and Kingman, Ariz. Cool Springs has its own Web site here.
- John Hargrove’s OK County 66 near Arcadia, Okla. As far as I know, this is the only online information about this attraction. He has built replicas of many attractions on Route 66.
