Get Your Kicks on Route 66!!



Day 9 took us from L.A. on historic Route 66 through the Mojave Desert to Arizona....The highlight had to be the stretch of old, OLD Route 66 that picks back up somewheres North of Needles, California to Kingman, Arizona. Amber warns that one must load up on Dramamine before hopping on this portion of road. It was last paved in the early 50's and has more curves than a room full of snakes! Along this stretch we came upon Oatman... apparently the TRUE "Jackass Junction" (apologies to New Mexico Jackass Junction). We also came across a working Gold Mine and an abandoned one that was tempting Jud to explore.


The locals in Oatman are friendly....VERY friendly!!!
