Planning and getting ready for our first Route 66 road trip to Arizona.
My wife, Fran and I have planned to see all of Route 66. Because we were still working we couldn’t see it all at one time so we decided to see small segments of it over time. We started in May of 2018 by doing the segment between Chicago and Saint Louis. In September of 2019 we did a small segment in California from Barstow to Santa Monica.
Now, we ready to travel a segment in Arizona from Oatman in the West to Holbrook on the East side of Arizona. In between, we’ll take a side trip to the Grand Canyon. I haven’t been there since I was a kid. We’re traveling with friends so there will be six of us going together. We’re also spending some time at the Temple Bar, Marina at Lake Mead.
We’re doing lots of research on what to see and do along the route. I know that much of the current Route 66 is really for tourists, but I’m also interested in finding out about a lot of the history along the route and the sights to see and thins to do that may be off the beaten path.
