Awesome thanks for the info! The only bad thing is that I have to wait a little more for the trip, because I´m going to be helping with photos and video for a movie Cristiada (2011)

I live just a few miles away from olf 66 in illinois. There are tons of great places On your way up tp Chicago stop by the old gas station in Odell heres a link http://www.theroadwanderer.net/66Illinois/odell.htm It is a regular stop for us along with several bars and food joints all along the way. BTW the road was just resurfaced and is a smooooth enjoyable ride!

Thanks Ian, this is great ! I'm going to look for the book, I want to get as much inspiration as possible.

Hi Diego, You should check out a book that my best friend did called "12 Minute Tan" I'm sure he did a similar trip to the one your thinking of doing. If you can't find a copy let me know, i'm sure he still has some lying around his house. failing that here is a link to his website http://www.michaelheffernan.com/ if you click on projects then California, there's a few shots he did in California which was part of the book. It's quite interesting the people that he finds to shoot. If you check out his whole projects section you might find some food for thought, he gets paid a lot of money to do these trips. His name is Michael Heffernan.

Good luck with your trip.

Thanks Richard, I'll go to muscle beach and check it out. I will probably try to go to Yosemite National Park but I don't know how much time the park will take, I have to plan it so I don't get to rush it in the end.

You can get some interesting characters on muscle beach in LA I imagine if that's your thing!

It's probably a bit out of your way but I'd also recommend exploring Highway 1 up the Californian coast along to the Big Sur - beautiful road trip and great for photographs. I'd also suggest Yosemite National Park if you're into landscapes. The scenery is absolutely stunning with cascading waterfalls and pine forests and you might even get a close up shot of grizzly bear if you're really unlucky!

You may have already looked, but here is a website that helps with directions for Route 66 and gives some tips on locations to stop. http://www.historic66.com/ (look in the state directions)
