Because both our days and the internet have been a bit crazy, I will combine two days of oddities along Route 66 in this post. Today we set out in 42 degrees, 10-15 mph winds, for a 60 mile ride, all of it along Historic Route 66. Fortunately, both temperature and wind went in the right direction, and after a chilly start, the ride was very pleasant. Yesterday’s ride, which was in the truck, was also along Route 66.
A must stop in Seligman, Arizona
Grand Canyon Caverns, where we had plenty of time to tour the Caverns before we could check into our rooms. Like many places along Route 66, it was ignored after the Interstate paralleling the old road opened. It is being restored, and the Caverns include a dining area, and for only $900 a night, a bedroom suite. Above ground features a growing collection of dinosaurs.
Route 66 runs through the Hualapai Reservation; we visited an excellent cultural center there.
There is lots of memorabilia along the way. Interiors tend to feature Elvis and Marilyn Monroe; Betty Boop was featured at the Caverns breakfast room.
