...on Route 66.
Planning a trip from CA to Chicago, and want to maximize time on Route 66.
Any recommendations, based on personal experience?
Planning on 5 days of travel, so side trips far off the paved path will have to limited.
Please, no links to anything that you have not personally used/posted.
Thanks.

But I saw it all on TV!!
that's silly - if you're going that way, you can see them LIVE! Otherwise, all you"ll see is pavement.
Or, save yourself the time and watch Billy Connolly's Route 66 on TV too.

Are you aware that Route 66 is not a current highway? It ceased to exist in 1984. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Route_66
To find parts of Route 66, you have to take side trips. This site claims to have a map and guide book for sale that will tell you about the 'old highway'. http://www.historic66.com/

I know someone who went specifically to see the "petrified forest", but it was hiding in fear shaking like a leaf somewhere at the time. Whoops, this isn't the lounge. Oh well, who cares ;-)

I am leaving this open to attract more answers.
We have a book coming from AAA (please note the extra 'A') , and already have another one which gives some recommendations, as well as detailed route data.
I do want to thank all of those who googled for me.

Have traveled by car and motorcycle. Defiantly go to Painted Desert and Grand Canyon. We stayed in a cabin beside the Canyon. Great photo opportunities at sunset. Also check this out:

Looks like we'll take it easier than planned. Maybe 7 days between Barstow, CA and St Louis, MO.
So, 2 days to offer memorable spots.
New Mexico, especially, as we have little input on that state.
As always, a good micro-brewery, or even a winery with tasting room, offers chance for bonus points in the point-splash extravaganza.

This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.
