I agree with everyone else here. Take Rout 66 wherever you can and I40 where there is no more Route 66. Check www.historic66.com for loads of great info including GPS downloads. Highly recommended. I just did LA to Cleveland a few months back and did Route 66 most of the way. It was a really great experience and a great way to see the country. There is even a restaraunt in OK (I think) called the Rock City Cafe. The gal who runs it was the inspiration for the Sally Carrera character in Cars. You can't miss her place-it's the one with all the plywood Porsches out front.

things not to miss on route 66/I40
Petrified Forest
Painted Desert
Caddillac Ranch
Tons of roadside Kitchy tourist traps.
Stay at the teepee Motel (Made of concrete teepees)
Blue Swan Motel
And don't miss the Mexican food in Tucumcari!!!
Make sure and take a camera. You will be glad you did.

Oh-yeah-don't speed through Texas.

Miles-Those photos are incredible! What kind of camera/lens are you using? Are you a professional photographer?
