Do you know the connection between singer Neil Diamond and the defunct Red Rooster restaurant on Route 66 in Victorville, California? Did you know that there is a 1959 TraveLodge hiding in plain sight along Route 66 in Kingman, Arizona? Did you know that Pearl Bailey once owned a dude ranch in the California Desert?

America's storyteller, author Jim Hinckley, visits with Delvin Harbour of the California Route 66 Museum and California Historic Route 66 Association, and Nolan Stolz, Route 66 explorer and historian, and developer of the forthcoming Route 66 Suite.
