Congratulations, Road Warrior
You and your fellow travelers are to be commended for your accomplishment and thank you for sharing your adventures--very enjoyable reading. Traveling Route 66 takes planning and patience and you had both. I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma and with two friends from the UK just two weeks ago traveled the 400 miles of Old 66 that goes from border in Oklahoma, the longest stretch of Historic 66 in the Road's 8 states. It took us three long days to drive those 400 miles and still we know we bypassed some interesting parts, but we so enjoyed the things we saw and especially the people we met. They had some great stories to tell us. BTW, the Blue Whale is right on Old 66 just past the Twin Bridges. I wonder if you had moved to the super slab at that point, otherwise I can't imagine how you couldhave missed it--it's very BIG and very blue. If you do the trip again or help someone else plan a 66 trip (partial or the whole way) I'd like to recommend a wonderful guide. It was a gift to us from Michael Wallis, who was kind enough to help us plan our trip. He's the expert, you know,and he swears this is the best (and I say easy to use) guide for 66 traveling that can be used whichever direction you're traveling. It's EZ 66 Guide for Travelers by Jerry McClanahan. It's detailed almost mile by mile, in a spiral flip binder that's easy to follow as you travel and includes the things too good to miss along the way. My friend, Debbie Churchill, has started posting her report of our trip with the Pre-trip report and if you're interested you can find it at this link. She's still recovering from jet lag but has already started organizing her notes for the first installment of the actual trip which in addition to our Route 66 days included sight-seeing off the Old Road. Doesn't look like the blog site will accept the address as a link, but I promise Debbie's equisite writing is worth typing it in for yourself. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=37059774#post37059774 Didn't think my comment was going to turn into a letter! I did so enjoy reading a report by a true 66 enthusiast. Thanks.

I'm envious. You look and sound like you had a ball. I'm going to keep with blog somewhere safe and who knows, one day, we might follow in your footsteps.

Great Trip
It sounds like a fabulous trip, in fact, get the impression you would like to do it again! Certainly sounds like the holiday of a lifetime.
