journeyacrossamerica: April 19 Getting our Kicks on Route 66

Welcome to our journey

This is a record of our road trip adventure as we take our first forage into the states with the truck camper and novice camper Daisy Doodle. The plan is to leave tomorrow, the 26th, and spend the first night with good friends inPort Stanley then accross the border at Detroit the next day. From there to the south! Far enough Rob says to remove the long underwear and put on the sandals! After we get a couple of days of relaxation it will be making our leasurely way to California
and up the west coast to Vancouver Island for the middle of May for the anticipated birth of a new granddaughter!

April 19 Getting our Kicks on Route 66

Going from Williams to Kingman we decided to take the historic route of Route 66. Seligman is near the beginning, just off of Interstate 40. My, it's quite the spot! From the old gas station to the dairy bar and several other businesses in between. What a riot! Thank goodness, for I fear that the town would really have died. There were 2 or 3 buses of sightseers that stopped at the same time as us. Rob stopped at a hot dog stand, chatted up the woman working it and found out she had worked at Red Lake for a summer. You just never know! Got lots of pictures then hopped in the truck and continued on to Hackberry which consisted of many, many old relics of vehicles plus one hot looking corvette!
All in all it was quite the road trip!
Now we have set camp up in Kingman, even taking off the camper!
