Day 26 - Route 66




Today we travelled all day on the old Route 66 from Williams to Golden Shores, eventually leaving it to complete our day in Lake Havasu City.

Much of the route was practically deserted. First stop was in Kingman at Mr D'z Route 66 Diner for Brunch http://flickr.com/photos/97705796@N00/2727567233/

Continued on Route 66 over the Sitgreaves Pass (photo 1) in The Black Mountains not very high at 3652ft but quite rugged http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mR3LLLeKT98 (that's me riding pillion NOT). Eventually got down the other side to Oatman which seems to be overrun by wild burros http://www.theroadwanderer.net/RT66oatman.htm

We eventually finished up in Lake Havasu City taking photos of London Bridge (photo 2) in a temp of 107F, before escaping to the air-conditioning in our Motel.
