Hooked on Route 66 is a site dedicated to the community of route 66 people. Route 66 has been growing in popularity over the last few years. The attraction stems from the desire to break out of normality. There have been a number of books, guides, and maps helping people navigate and explore Route 66. None of these are all inclusive of all alignments. What most new explorers of Route 66 fail to realize Route 66 was never just one path. Since its commission in 1926, until it’s decommission in 1985 the path labeled "Route 66" was constantly changing and evolving. America's demand for an efficient highway has always steadily increased over the decades. Today there are many hurdles finding all of Route 66. The greatest hurdle is getting to alignments of 66 that are on private property.
Hard core adventurists like me are driven to find and explore every remnant possible of the mother road. This site will be a resource for the adventurist. - A place where travelers learn to go beyond what is found on tour guides. Route 66 offers the adventure of a lifetime. Take a trip back in time to experience for yourself what migrants and tourists encountered in the early days. Imagine yourself in the isolated desert looking down an old path that disappears into the horizon, a daunting journey for a migrant family seeking a better life in California.
Already the site has virtual tours of Illinois and Kansas available on the website at http://www.HookedOnRoute66.com
