Quality Inn Kingman

Auf dem Weg nach Kingman sind wir auf der Historic Route 66 gefahren...Zuerst eine Enttaeuschung, dann aber doch noch lustig (siehe Videos) :-)

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...

The following morning we drove from via route 66 to Vegas. Route 66 originally went from Chicago in the east to Los Angeles and was termed "The Main Street of America". It has appeared in many films through the years but is pretty much non-existent now with other highways superseding it. However certain states have retained sections of it and renamed it Historic Route 66. We stopped ...

Saturday we set off for to The Grand Canyon after our late night of watching Harry Potter! The drive was only 3 hours and pretty boring, just gravel and dust!!!. We drove to the South rim of the Canyon which has the better viewing areas and yes we took loads of photos!! The Grand Canyon is the power of nature, it is a sight to see!! It really is a m************ in ...

You may recall me mentioning that the entire reason for our annual LA Adventure as we call it is to attend and exhibit at the Los Angeles Pen Show! I didn't want anyone reading to forget about the pen show being held this weekend, February 13-15 at the Manhattan Beach Marriott Hotel. This is one of the largest pen shows in the world and people come from all corners of the world ...

... trying thinking there was a problem with the King Dome itself. Just on a lark I tried it again. Yea, it found the satellite link and now I have my TV.

I won't go all the way into LA because I don't want to face their traffic after a long drive, and probably a bit fatigued. So, we'll see how it goes.

... camera and other "loose" items in a locker. But they are offering to take your picture on the bridge for you for a minimum of $50 for the proofs. Talk about giant RIP-OFF! They have an "authentic" Historical Indian Village set up. What? No extra charge for that? I take a few pictures and then walk over to the outside of the glass bridge. It's doesn't look as impressive as all the drawings and advertising pictures. False Advertising. I want my money back ...

... Each of these messages, books, movies are the pieces of the giant puzzle. All the pieces are falling into place. There is one big problem. The problem is the puzzle is missing the biggest piece that ties it all together. I wonder who holds that piece? If what I have written is correct, which I know IS, then the missing piece is about to be born. It will be one heck of a puzzle when it's completed. Exactly who, do ...

... morning! As we left California, we drove through much of the fire-ravaged area of Beaumont, where the big Esperanza Fire was. We love the way our motorhome looks since we had the new striping, roof, and deep polish done - it really looks and feels new! Breakfast first - picture posting later!

... service along the south rim, every stop every view was just as fantastic as the one before every view different. We ate at a hotel a good quality rustic meal and walked in the dark back to our cabin, what a two minute walk in total darkness the stars can clearly be see, in the total silence we could hear the local wild life. We needed to get to bed we have an early start.
