Last fall, we learned that John Holod of RV Adventure Videos was taking a journey down Route 66 to shoot a documentary about America’s most famous road.
According to this preview clip posted a few days ago, the film will be available in September, probably as a DVD:
From the video description (lightly edited):
Route 66 is also known as “the mother road.” Its history has helped shape that of America. Commissioned in 1926, it was the first highway to link Chicago and Los Angeles. Route 66 became America’s Main Street. No longer necessary for cross-country travel, it has been replaced by interstates with no stoplights and no special places of interest, just a way to get from point A to point B in a hurry.
But as I’ve always reminded travelers, you don’t learn anything on an interstate. Route 66 is special; it crosses the rivers, plains, mountains and deserts of eight states. Come along for the over 2,000-mile ride as we explore its drive-ins, gas stations, museums, kitschy roadside attractions and most importantly, its people. Americana at its finest! Today, visitors come from all over the globe to travel what some call the most magical road in the world. What are you waiting for? – video release Sept. 2012.
