I knew that a lot of the original Route 66 is nothing like it used to be. However, I thought that there are still parts of it that can still be traveled, like you said, "taking the backroads was that I often was the only car on the road". What a shame if it's too late for that.

"Somehow, I doubt there are many (if any) such backroads nowadays." Try traveling from southwest Kansas to Missouri. The first half of the trip would be on just such backwater deserted roads. Ok, they are not quite as dusty as they used to be, or quite as deserted. If you really want deserted then go for Montana.

Hat tip to Holly: Sleeping Beauty, Tom Thumb, and Quasimodo were all talking one day. Sleeping Beauty said, "I believe myself to be the most beautiful girl in the world." Tom Thumb said, "I must be the smallest person in the world." Quasimodo said, "I absolutely have to be the most disgusting person in the world." So they all decided to go to the Guinness Book of World Records to have their claims verified. Sleeping Beauty went in first and came out looking deliriously happy. "It's official; I AM the most beautiful girl in the world." Tom Thumb went next and emerged triumphant, "I am now officially the smallest person in the world." Sometime later, Quasimodo comes out looking utterly confused and says "Who the heck is Rosie O'Donnell"?
