Which of Peart’s books…

[Presto-digitation]

…touch most on his travels along historic Route 66?  I realize none of them are dedicated to just that, but which covers that highway the most?

 

thanks in advance.

I think Traveling Music does.

Off hand I'd go with Ghost Rider.  Here's a post from Neil's blog dealing with Rt 66:

Excerpts:

For Michael and me, our long, hot day on the motorcycles had begun early, climbing off the bus in Williams, Arizona, "The Gateway to the Grand Canyon," to unload the bikes. By late afternoon I decided we would not press on another eighty miles to Prescott, Arizona-we would stay right there in Seligman (pronounced se-LIG-man), at the Historic Route 66 Motel. Take it easy on ourselves-though we would log 377 miles that day, in hundred-degree heat, and spend the next two hours working with Sebastien and crew on a drone video shoot.

 

...

 

Michael and I followed them about fifteen miles west of Seligman into the open country of grasses, sage, and scattered mesquite. They parked at the junction of a good long stretch of 66's paved two-lane running east and west, and a gravel lane heading south toward the railroad tracks. (Burlington Northern and Santa Fe these days, formerly the more musical Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe.) When Sebastien got the drone airborne, Michael and I did a few "formation" rides in each direction on the gravel, with long dust trails behind us, then on 66.

Probably right about that.  His blog posts might be worth checking out as well.

 

Here's another, which covers from the deep south through Texas, into Arizona and up to the Pac NW:
