Spring 2024 Road Trip

I’ve been absent from the club for several years and happy to be back. Recently retired and planning to catch up on things including some valuable car time. My wife Lisa and I are planning to travel Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica in May driving our 57. There is an abundance of information and recommendations on the internet. We have booked most “must stay” places like the Blue Swallow” but if anyone has any personal recommendations on places to stay, eat or must see’s, the info would be appreciated.
One area that we have not found a place to overnight is the Needles, CA. area. Any personal experiences in this area would be helpful 😊

Thank you
Scott
