US Route 6, also known as The Grand Army of the Republic Highway, is the longest contiguous transcontinental route in the USA. Running from Provincetown, MA to Bishop, CA (and before 1964 to Long Beach, CA), US Route 6 remains for the most part, a two-lane highway on its way through fourteen states. This is your guide along all of its original 3,652 miles. From Revolutionary War sites to pioneer settlements and western mining towns, Route 6 offers an in-depth lesson in US History, charms of yesteryear and comforts of modern times. Compiled and written by magazine and newspaper travel writer, Malerie Yolen-Cohen, Stay on Route 6 highlights the best attractions, restaurants, hotels and oddities along America's long-ignored highway.

Stamford, CT based Malerie Yolen-Cohen grew up on the Greenwich, CT/ Port Chester, NY border and spent her formative years crewing on her parents succession of sailboats. After nearly 20 years in the financial industry selling stocks and bonds, she decided to return to her first love; journalism. Always captivated by travel and exploration, (though with an intense fear of flying) Yolen-Cohen carved out a freelance travel writing career documenting road trips and local and regional attractions. In 2011, with a new empty nest, she spent one and a half months crossing the USA on its longest contiguous highway, US Route 6, then returned to write a guidebook about it. With credits in Newsday, National Geographic Traveler, Sierra, Ladies Home Journal, Westchester Huffington Post and dozens of other publications, Stay On Route 6 is Yolen-Cohen's first book.

Good guide to lodging, restaurants, and roadside attraction

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 14, 2012

Verified Purchase

As the first book I know of to cover all of US 6, this guide does a nice job of identifying places to eat and sleep across the width of the country along with plenty of museums and other attractions to keep a traveler busy.

Yolen-Cohen created this book after driving the entire route herself. The trip was a single drive from one end of US 6 to the other and the book is also a single pass of the road. There is a little serendipity in the trip but not much as most stops were planned before departure. I like that most of the author's observations are real-time and personal. Of course, the book is not limited to those personal observations. Yolen-Cohen usually describes multiple restaurants and lodging choices in each locale and they typically cover a range of prices and tastes. Even when she describes a place where she didn't actually eat or sleep, I have the feeling that she at least drove by and probably talked to a manager and took a look inside if possible. She doesn't get them all. There are certainly good motels and eateries on the route that she doesn't mention but she does present a pretty good selection.

This is not a guide to the history and changing alignments of US 6. The author does give directions for the historic route from the current terminus just inside California's eastern border to the former terminus near the coast in Long Beach but, with few exceptions, the reader is expected to otherwise follow the currently signed route. Nothing wrong with that. Just means there's plenty of room left for the road historians.

STAY ON ROUTE 6 - an entertaining, enriching experience across America

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 1, 2012

Verified Purchase

If you want to take a happy, hip, information packed transcontinental road trip across America, Stay on Route 6 is a must read. Route 6 (not the mythical Rt. 66) is the longest cross country road in the U.S., starting in MA., running through 14 states and ending in CA. As you travel it with gifted, lively travel writer Malerie D. Yolen-Cohen you live vicariously, and become joyfully enriched and educated. You visit a surprising range of "who knew" museums (dinosaur, prairie, carousel, clock, railroad, antique, tractor, quilt, windmill, arsenal, scouting, mining and many more). You sample some of the tastiest foods, cheeses and wines found anywhere, experience unforgettable, local home-made, home-grown specialties and sleep in historic, pampering, antique decorated B&B's, posh hotels or economical motels (depending upon your preference and budget). In each state you'll visit the quaint, the quirky, the beautiful and have memorable fun -- art galleries, candy factories, a perfumery, local libraries, huge zoos, amusement parks, jails - and places that restore your faith in humanity (e.g., Boys Town in Nebraska). You'll meet welcoming, talented and talkative locals who will provide historic insights, enlighten and entertain you. Malerie tells you what to expect along all of Route 6 from stunning scenery to all too familiar Big Box Central commercial plazas and some seemingly endless deserts. Because of her unique way with words and phrases she keeps you excited, delighted and amused while providing you with excellent directions, contact and cost information (websites, addresses, phone numbers). When your trip across Route 6 ends it is with joy and sorrow. You've learned so much, so painlessly, and while experiencing so much pleasure for 3,652 miles.

A DETAILED GUIDE FOR PLANNING A CROSS-COUNTRY DRIVE

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

I haven't yet travelled much on Route 6, but this book appears to cover the highlights and many quirky attractions along the way. Driving directions for some of the twists and turns on and off the interstates seem to be quite useful, as are hotel and restaurant recommendations. Frequent mention of where you can get good ice cream (which isn't a bad thing at all).

Nice book to take with you on a vacation. I grew up on US Route 6 so I thought it would be a fun read. It was. Even stopped by in my small home town and got to meet the local cadre of personalities.

Its 6, not 66!

US 6, from Provincetown, MA to Long Beach, CA. Read this cover to cover and I intend to put it to good use in a year or two. Thought a little more could have been written about the Indiana sections, but then I'm biased.

My only complaint is that the writer drove the route east to west and the routing is challenging to figure out from the book if you want to go west to east. As I want to do.
