    Wildsam – Route 66

    A field guide to Route 66, America’s most storied highway—full of roadside attractions, pie counters, vintage motor lodges, desert landscapes, canyon views and timeless Mother Road lore.

    Inside Wildsam Route 66, you’ll find stories from historic diners, classic service stations, and the people who keep the road’s spirit alive. The guide includes expert road trip itineraries, detailed profiles of towns across 2,400 miles and eight states, and interviews with neon preservationists, curio shop owners, and muffler man historians. Archival findings, recommended stop-offs, scenic highlights, and offbeat intel bring the legendary highway into full view, helping travelers experience Route 66 with insight and authenticity.

    “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.”
    Mary Beth Babcock, Buck Atom's Cosmic Curios on 66
