I've driven that road in a four-wheel drive years ago...long before the bridge, and it wasn't any picnic. I hear the road is improving and it is actually possible to just take a tour bus from Kingman. The price and camera still get me tho. :) I think you are seeing many other sights that rival it. -LoriBeemerGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239761274177026636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505434595026982929.post-45681027133688752842010-10-18T05:54:09.676+01:002010-10-18T05:54:09.676+01:00Eve – They really did remind me of triffids.

I have often wondered about doing the full Route 66 trip – maybe I will one year and I might ask for your advice.<br /><br />Doug – Thanks for the information and the link. I read the account of what happened to the Oatmans and it is quite harrowing. Those were tough times back then!<br /><br />Shanky – Thanks for reading my blog. It is good that you customized your bike.Gary Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05163380727432573785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505434595026982929.post-34486857740391088882010-10-09T16:01:03.048+01:002010-10-09T16:01:03.048+01:00George – I will take a look at your blog and read ...George – I will take a look at your blog and read about your trip as soon as I have time. I look forward to reading about what you did and where you went. I don’t have any plans to get back to NJ, but if I do, I will contact you.<br /><br />BeemerGirl – Welcome to my blog! I considered the Skywalk, but that poor quality road and that you cannot take a camera really put me off. Being an engineer, I would really have liked to have seen it, but it was not to be this time. I have peeked at your blog occasionally!<br /><br />Oz – I agree, the old roads are much better for bikes than the newer ones. That had never occurred to me, but of course, you are right!Gary Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05163380727432573785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505434595026982929.post-27141812897752326102010-10-06T07:00:06.102+01:002010-10-06T07:00:06.102+01:00U had a a great journey on bike.

"The Oatman Massacre" is the prototypical story of white settlers attacked by angry natives. Father, mother, and the baby killed, the son left for dead, and the daughters carried of into captivity. The old story makes interesting reading, and while told in a lurid, 19th century fashion, is largely true.<br /><br />http://www.discoverseaz.com/History/Oatman.htmlDoug Klassenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120274946344780566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505434595026982929.post-27417772591850435752010-10-06T03:30:44.241+01:002010-10-06T03:30:44.241+01:00Another part of your travels, that we must have sh...Another part of your travels, that we must have shared the road ;-) <br />I have done the Route 66 from Chicago to L.A. the very same month in 2001 (yes shortly after 9/11). It was my best road trip ever. I stopped at a Starbucks in Flagstaff to warm up and drove further to the Grand Canyon that day... thanks for resurrecting my memories...SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505434595026982929.post-90813600333025576972010-10-06T02:38:12.068+01:002010-10-06T02:38:12.068+01:00This is great.

You are currently near my parents place and I am enjoying seeing some of my old roads through your eyes. You look like you are having a great time and taking great pictures. If you wanted to happen by Kingman again, and take a 5 hour detour north...you could go to the <a href="http://www.grandcanyonskywalk.com/" rel="nofollow">Grand Canyon Skywalk</a>. The only drawback is that you can't take your <i>own</i> camera out there. Continue the great reporting and Thank You! -LoriBeemerGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239761274177026636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505434595026982929.post-45951236444788988882010-10-05T22:13:59.717+01:002010-10-05T22:13:59.717+01:00This is an amazing trip, I just did a cross countr...This is an amazing trip, I just did a cross country trip in July in 23 days and I'm now writing about it in my blog. Love all the places you have been, if you ever back in NJ send me a message and we can get together for dinner. I wish I could do a trip like this, maybe one day I will do one of Great Britain too :-)GFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254196892811043203noreply@blogger.com
