Michael Wallis
"Open -road travelers are made more than born. They are as different from theme-park tourists as anything you can imagine. Tourists rush; travelers mosey. Tourists look for souvenirs; travelers seek out the souvenir makers. Tourists want to see all the right places; travelers simply go into the country. Travelers are openly romantic about the going itself, the adventurous possibility of it all."
Get Your Kicks on Route 66
Well if you ever plan to motor west,
Just take my way ,
that's the highway that's the best.
Get your kicks on Route sixty-six.
Well it winds from Chicago to LA.
More than two-thousand miles all the way.
Get your kicks on Route sixty-six.
Well it goes through St. Louie down to Missouri,
Oklahoma City looks oh so pretty.
You'll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico,
Flagstaff, Arizona, don't forget
Winona, Kingsman, Barstow, San Bernardino.
Won't you get hip to this timely tip
And think you'll take that California trip.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.

The Grapes of Wrath
"Highway 66 is the main migrant road. 66-the long concrete path across the country, waving gently up and down on the map, over the red lands and the gray lands, twisting up into the mountains, crossing the Divide and down into the bright and terrible desert, and across the desert to the mountains again, and into the rich California valleys. 66 is the path of people in flight, refugees from dust and shrinking land, from the thunder of tractors and shrinking ownership, from the desert's slow northward invasion, from the twisting winds that howl up out of Texas, from the floods that bring no richness to the land and steal what little richness is there. From all of these the people are in flight, and they come into 66 from the tributary side roads, from the wagon tracks and the rutted country roads. 66 is the mother road, the road of flight."
John Steinbeck 1939
