Best Western Bullhead City Inn

Auf dem Weg nach Kingman sind wir auf der Historic Route 66 gefahren...Zuerst eine Enttaeuschung, dann aber doch noch lustig (siehe Videos) :-)<br><br>Von Kingman aus sind wir weiter auf der Route 66 nach Oatman gefahren...dies ist angeblich eine Ghosttown...aber das muss schon eine Weile her sein. Heute ist es eher ein Touristen-Mekka mit Souvenir-Shops und hungrigen Eseln...<br>

From the Grand Canyon we travelled through more Desert to Kingman, which is where we were joining Route 66. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br ><br><br><br>The evening went through to a lekka Cowboy restaurant and had a great evening enjoying some steak.

... a small town on the way and enjoyed ice cream and took photos of the strange assortment of paraphenalia that diners along the route had collected. Not exactly sure what the town was called, but I do know we were on what is now Route 40 in Arizona (yea sorry about my shifty memory - I think the tequila in Mexico has got to it).<br><br>That night in Vegas was pretty subdued. A group of us ...

After packing up and fuelling up we left Vegas around lunchtime and headed south towards Bullhead City. We were going to go back to San Diego to collect our documents which SDCVW (San Diego Classic Volkswagen) had promised to send to us in Vegas but never did, but decided to carry on with our trip and deal with that matter in a more formal way over the next week or so, as we don't trust ...

... of actually taking pictures of signs until after I left Orlando. Those before that mean anything are completely random. I stumbled across some photographer's website where he had done that. So I started paying more attention to signs and taking their pictures. I had no idea they would have some kind of significance later on. I was only planning on posting some of them as a final, summary, post. I have a feeling Hannah has been crying herself to sleep ...

... beyond the safety fence. But he does not know or really understand what he is missing, so there is at least some relief in that and he does not become upset. Junior Rangers seem to be the order of the day and we head off to the visitors centre. The centre is big and impressive but only mildly so, compared to other centres we have seen. A surprise, given the prominence of this park. For the first time this trip, we are required to sit through a ranger-led ...

Onwards, we head away from the mighty canyon and toward the might road - Route 66. We're soon in quirky Williams where we pick up the Mother Road. The town is full of little diners, gas stations and a curious combined gun and liquor store. Further on we stop off in the atmospheric little town of Seligman, which is hanging on to its 50's roots. We hit a long and straight stretch of Route 66 which takes us through some ...

... I pondered several replies, including; 1. "Why not step into my room!" (I immediately vetoed this choice recognizing that Holly might not want company and I do value some parts of my anatomy) 2. "Have you considered Lasik Surgery and counseling?" (this reply is just as bad as it presumes that I'm not even mildly hot) 3. "Then you agree with my wife!" (the problem with this reply is that it must be ...

... deer. Oh, and we were robbed by outlaws. Fortunately, the sheriff came on and chased them back to their horses before anyone was harmed. Ended up in Kingman, AZ. Day 7 stats: 12 average number of minutes in the bathroom per passenger on the train 3 average number of trips to the bathroom in a 2 hour time frame per person 234 colors on the Motel 6 bedspreads (colors not found in nature) 4 weather phenomenon per hour at the Grand Canyon

... lovely lake shore and found out it was basically a rubble pit it wasn't so nice! The lake was beautiful. The only downer being the tons of massive speed boats and jet skis hammering up and down all day. Still once it got dark the boats went in and they all took to their motor bikes and quad bikes for the evening together with some heavy metal music to syke themselves up for another adrenaline petrol filled day ahead, extreme man! Once they had calmed down we went to bed only ...
