Product Description
A guide to sixty-six spine-tingling tales of haunted homes, businesses and graveyards along America’s “Mother Road.”
It’s no accident that Route 66 begins in Chicago- at Jackson Boulevard and Michigan Ave. It was started by adventurous souls who had already traveled this far west and began forging the haphazard trail even farther. They followed market routes, stagecoach routes and sometimes paths or trails that, patched together, made one continuous route. Paving the roads made it easier for the rest of us to follow, but they were the first. Many of their spirits are still there, waiting for you to visit.
From Chicago’s Biograph Theater, we travel west through places like St. Charles, Missouri; Gutherie, Oklahoma and Jerome, Arizona. Ending up at The Georgian Hotel’s Speakeasy Restaurant in Santa Monica, California.
We hope you will pack up your bags, grab this book and hit the road. Or if you prefer to be an armchair traveler, we still think you’ll have an exciting trip along our haunted version of Route 66.
Robo heads back to Las Vegas after a week of mountain biking and hiking in Utah. On the way is a scenic drive just before crossing the Nevada state line on I-15 south.

“Route 66″
Here are some of the scenes I saw along Route 66 in Arizona and California, during my recent wonderful motorcycle ride around the Southwest.
The video also includes some examples of the Burma Shave ads. Here are a few websites that talk about these famous, highly entertaining ads, which were seemingly EVERYWHERE on the highways “in the old days”:

The “Hollow Mountain” store and gas station is actually on a road that’s north of Route 66, but it’s funky nature fits right in with many of the quirky places on Route 66, so I included it in the video as well. There’s an entire store carved into that mountain, with restrooms and storage rooms, etc. The store owner confirmed for me that the rock is a great natural insulator, so they never have to use heat during the winter, and only need air conditioning in the summer because of the heat that the refrigerator cooling units put out.
The song for the video is three different versions of “Route 66″, one by Depeche Mode, one by Chuck Berry, and the final version by the Rolling Stones.
