A FIELD GUIDE TO ROUTE 66: Roadside attractions, pie pit stops, motor lodges, desert dune climbs, canyon views and Mother Road lore.   

Inside Wildsam Route 66, you'll find tales about iconic route diners and historic service stations; detailed road trip itineraries and profiles of towns across 2,400 miles and eight states, from Chicago to Santa Monica; interviews with neon preservationists, curio shop owners and muffler man experts; delightful miscellany from the archives, recommendations for neon sign stops to natural wonders and offbeat intel about an iconic American highway.

 “It's such a cool way to see so many different areas of the United States. Yesterday I had people from Ecuador and Brazil. It’s colorful, all over the board. There are definitely different elements that make it magical to me, personally, anytime I've traveled Route 66. I'm like a little kid when I see a muffler man.”
