Rodeway Inn Kingman

From the Grand Canyon we travelled through more Desert to Kingman, which is where we were joining Route 66.












The evening went through to a lekka Cowboy restaurant and had a great evening enjoying some steak.

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 ...

... ground. Comparing it to Bryce Canyon, one is the beauty and one is the power. After doing all the different viewpoints we set off for Kingman (heart of route 66). The drive took 4 hours which these days is not even a thought and camped the night at a KOA site. There were about 25 students next to us who literally slept under the stars in their sleeping bags it was ...

... hope we'll see you there, too! If you need details on the pen show, visit their website: www.lapenshow.com When we're on the road, we always try to sample the local restaurants, especially the locally owned ones. We try cafes and diners that have full parking lots and sometimes just look interesting, and amazingly enough, it's rare that we dine in a dud! Yes, I know the chains ...

... as well as "electric" buses. We saw the biggest hill and walked down the "crookedest" street. It is a testament to all of us that none of us killed anyone else in our group with the cold and waiting and walking... most of us bought new fleece jackets because we were so cold. I don't think it got up to 50 all day. This morning was busy...we left San Francisco around 8 am local time, but the GPS couldn't get us out easily so we ...

... I'm here, might as well go walk on this thing. After passing through security, a ticket taker, another security guard and a booty provider, yes, you have to wear little booties over your shoes so that you don't scratch the glass, I get to the walkway. It extends about 50 feet past the side of the canyon. The bridge is about 6 feet wide. The glass is about 3 feet wide. The rest is 2 very large and deep support beams. They block out most of your view down ...

... think is Knocking at the door? It's not WHO, but WHAT? Is! that is knocking at the door! What? Is! is Catholic. Protestant, Baptist, Jewish and every other religion imaginable. What? Is! is European, Asian, African, North American, South American, Australian, Antarctican and whatever other piece of this earth that exists! What? Is! is Black, White, Red, Yellow, Green and every colour in between. What? Is! is ...

... t pass up the ultimate camp spot. We put our tents about five feet from the blue-green river. At night there was a still silence in the air. Both Mike and I felt it. We've been out in the wilderness before, but we never got the eerie feeling we did in the campground. We later found out that the campground used to be an ancient burial ground for the Pai people. Yes, we slept on a Native American burial ground - and we survived. There's not much to do down here besides ogle ...
