[TR] Route 66

[DAVID MASSEY]

 Many state tourism boards have recognized that Rt. 66 is a draw worth the investment of a few signs.  Some sites have been declared Historic and many of the rural routes are still used by locals.  The good part is that most of the traffic has been diverted to the interstates so traffic is light.  And many business owners capitalize on the historic nature of the businesses that date back to the era.
But many stretches were plowed under for the interstate and other stretches are dead-ends which means if there is a time schedule these get skipped.
But the continued survival is based on the level of tourism so get out there is tour!

I'm just glad some of it is preserved... our car group has (naturally since we are in AZ) driven the western stretches.
While we were having lunch at the Roadkill in Seligman, a local invited us to see some cars he had for sale:


That's a Magnette & and an MGB - the rest (12 or so) were American classics..
The Wigwam in Holbrook keeps some old American Iron in the lot but it really looks good when we add our British cars:


The old store in Hackberry is a mandatory stop:


Here's that section from Kingman to Oatman that Dave mentioned:


Looking at the photos I see I haven't been along there since 2010 -- I think I am ready for a return visit.  Anyone interested in a Route 66 drive?
