route 66

[heaven05]

I'd like to see a remake of the Route 66 series of the 60's with martin milner and george maharis driving that corvette cross country to fulfill a dying wish of a jazz singer.....but this time two women, one AA, one Caucasian, both army combats vets, one a cobra pilot, one an regular grunt/soldier, multiple tours, Afghanistan/Iraq, PTSD both, because of the lingering sexism in the services and combat related to the madness and viciousness of war. One dying of brain cancer from handling depleted uranium munitions and just wanting to ride the country she defended unto a lingering death one last time. All the stories encountered.....from Boston to San Francisco.

1. I like the premise but much of Route 66 is by passed by interstates. A new route would have to be...

patched together from the remaining original Route 66 sections and other non-interstate roads to get from Boston to San Francisco. There definitely good be some good stories encountered by those two characters you described.

And btw (you probably know this), the original Route 66 ran from Chicago to LA (Santa Monica).

2. sure on knowing

about the route and I'm sure those type of details could be 'spun'.....milner and maharis were as far east as Vermont in one of their episodes, that's all I was relating to. I'll have to watch again...

3. I think Route 66 parallels I-40/I-44

From St Louis to Tulsa, then from Tulsa across OK and a couple other states to Arizona or New Mexico. I can't remember exactly - my geography is fuzzy!
