Of course, if you use maps and "Route 66" prints, you'll be expected to visit all those places! We'll be watching!

I would love, love, love to travel the entire "Yellowstone Highway". That route passes through the town we live in, and there's a few remnants of it that still exist (old tourist camp cabin, now in the local museum), supposedly some signage residue painted on a rock just outside our town (now on private property). Route 12 is dear to my heart as I've traveled the entire length of it from Chicago through Wisconsin, and lived near it in a couple of places over the years. Looks like the Yellowstone and 12 may be one and the same in some sections. The Lincoln Highway looks interesting. On one of these route's sites, they had a slogan "Friends don't let friends drive the Interstate". Good bumper sticker material there.(IMO )
Other theme ideas were vintage gas station and diners, the flying winged Red Mobil horse, western/horses, vintage trains, lodge (with heavy emphisis on pine trees and cones). About now, any of the guys reading this (if they've gotten this far) are probably rolling their eyes , but I wasn't going with Bob's personal favorite--just throw the stuff in the trailer and go. Nah
