Dozens of his articles have appeared in a variety of national magazines, and he is the author of "Oklahoma Route 66." He lives on historic Route 66 in Arcadia, Oklahoma. In 1998, Ross and McClanahan, along with Anderson Productions, produced and co-hosted the documentary Route 66 video, "Bones of the Old Road."
