Its epic.
I dislike you, but if your on route 66, keep an eye out for the natural cave (between Vegas and Canyon). its well worth the little tour and quite interesting. Im a nice bloke what can I say.
Also, bonus points if you get a newer shot of this garage. Lovley vette in the front as well as am beast out front.
Some shots of the caves etc.

Its stunning, so quiet and relaxing. I only done a short stint on there, but it worth the trip compared to the freeway.
Watch out for cops hiding though as I saw quite a few of them.
If you can make time to pop into the Grand Canyon, do it, its absolutly breathtaking. Its about and hour and a half north of the freeway though, and 2 way traffic so you can get caught behined some Self Drive motorhome doing 50mph.

Its Chicago to LA - 2633 miles
Although most of Route 66 was decommissioned and replaced with I40
However you can venture away from I40 and catch the old road in parts

Yeah we done a chopper, its really REALLY good!! I got some pics around that link I posted.
Tom, I dunno, we drove around the south ridge, and got out and walked down into the caynon. We'd like to go back and do a 2-3 day walk into the bottom.
Plus I nearly killed myself doing my usual climbing thing to get a picture of some tribal drawings on a wall quite high up into some rocks
getting up wasn't an issue, climbing down over loose stone, with only a 3ft path, then a straight drop was the worry
Sorry, post invasion, it was such a great holiday though it brings back lots of good memories.
