Back to Oregon from Missouri via Route 66
Hi All! Thank you for the great advice on getting to my family reunion in Missouri. I'm planning the trip home & decided to head south & take Route 66. I'll be leaving St. Louis on July 5th and have to be in Oregon by the 12th so I have some time to wander. I've been to a few of the major cities so I have some ideas already but I'd love to hear other ideas of what to see (I like everything from cheesy to historical). Any advice on where to stay & best local cuisine is also appreciated. Lastly any ideas of where to head north from Nevada in case I don't have time to drive all the way to LA then north.
Thanks!
GF
Another of your many choices.
As well as the above, you could cut across Death Valley from Beatty - call in at the ghost town of Rhyolite - to Lone Pine, and take 395 north from there. It is a most scenic route. Call in at the lovely town of Bishop. It also passes just by Mono Lake, on the way to Carson City.
Whatever you do, try not to miss Oatman AZ.
