By popular vote we are going to change the itinerary slightly to be able to visit the Grand Canyon. Also there will be an alternate route near Roswell.
We will be staying in Williams, AZ for another night, July 3rd and 4th. This allows people to take the antique train over to the Grand Canyon on July 4th and Williams has a better July 4th fireworks program than Needles. CA. We will leave from Williams on July 5th and go straight on to the end of Route 66 at the Santa Monica Pier and meet up with members of the SoCalNBClub. The Route from Needles to Los Angeles is pretty boring and I think we can get on the super highway and go until we get into Los Angeles. After the visit to the pier in Santa Monica we will drive up the coast through Malibu to Buellton, CA (very close to where I live) and get ready to party on July 6th. So the mileage from Williams to Buellton is about 300 or so (still very doable even with the Los Angeles traffic.
Some people want to stay on Route 66 from Amarillo to Tucumcari on June 28th and some want to go straight over to Roswell. This will be an alternate route (I think lead by Jerry O') and they will be staying at a 50's style hotel in Tucumcari on the 28th and drive into Roswell on morning of the 29th.
We have now selected all the suggested Motel 6 stops. I have given the list over to the marketing people and they are working up room blocks and (hopefully) dicounts. I will post all the Motels as soon as I get that information back. They told me maybe next week.
