There is no shortage of information on Route 66, old and new. Classic
Motorbooks in Osceola WI has a number of books and pamphlets, some comparing
the old road with it's current status on a mile-by-mile basis.
An internet search engine will get you to the more than a dozen web sites
devoted to Route 66 and "Yahoo! Maps" (http://maps.yahoo.com/yahoo/) will
get you a free current map.
