Arizona is really big on Route 66.  There is so much to see we took longer to get to our ending point than thought.  Leaving Kingman we headed to Hackberry.  This is avery fun stop.  It is formally artist Bob Waldmire place now owned by the Prichards.  It is full of old 66 items.  T-shirts and normal gift shop stuff too.

In the ladies room with the ladies.

The Pritchards daily driver.


We went to the Grand Canyon Caverns.  We took the tour through the cave.  It is a dry cave-no water and not in the grand canyon.  It has been designated as a fallout shelter for 2,000 people and has a two week supply of water, MRE's just incase.  Their newest gimick is you could stay the night in the cave.  They built a platform with tv beds 8 track player etc. 

Seligman is a way cool Route 66 town.  Gift shops and food with old motels (open ?) Our favorite place is Angel and Velma's place.  Angel is the head of the Route 66 movement in AZ he is also a barber and at 90? he still cuts hair.  From Seligman we saw Williams.  This city is the gateway to the Grand Canyon.  It is where the Grand Canyon train starts.  It is also a huge Route 66 shopping stop.  The whole street is full of shops and restruants and people.  We only stopped to eat. 

We found a giant Lumber Jack in Flagstaff.

Twin Arrows is just twin arrows now you can't even drive up to them.

Standing on a corner in Winslow Arizona.

Wow glad we weren't around when this happened!


Ye Haw!

Holbrook Arizona






Holbrook Arizona is where we stopped for the night.  Wigwam Motel is where we stayed-yes in a
tee- pee.  They are quite nice but no wifi.  This is when where met up with our computer.
