Route 66 is also a big attraction to may Dutch people. I have known some who vacationed in USA and driving R66 was a primary attraction.

I thought that they were all at Graceland.

Funny you should mention the Dutch.

Back in the 1980’s, I noticed that every state through which Route 66 passed had a club, or association, devoted to preserving and promoting what’s left of Route 66.

What surprised me is that a number of foreign countries have Route 66 associations, including The Netherlands, Germany, the U.K. and Japan. The lure of the open road appeals to many across America and around the world.

Met an English couple at the La Posada hotel in Winslow when there were only 2 or 3 rooms open. They had flown to Chicago, bought an old station wagon,and had driven to Winslow on 66 (as much as they could) and when they reached California, the plan was to sell the car and fly back.
