Monday 12th Nov
We made the decision to take a long journey today, we would go to Kingman and then decide whether to go to Lake Havasu (and see London Bridge) as planned or take the longer ride to Williams and perhaps visit the South Rim of the Grand Canyon – guess which we did, especially as it meant that we could cruise the longest section of Route 66 still drivable, from Kingman to Seligman, via Peach Springs. So we were back into taking pictures of Roadside Americana. We even stopped at The Rusty Bolt, a famous biker shop in Seligman, owned by Angelo Delgadillo, one of the inspirations behind Cars the Pixar movie. I went in and the guy showed me round, even showed me the Blue Peter Badge they were given when Blue Peter filmed there.
We arrived in Williams just as it was getting dark, set up at the Railroad camp RV park, where the Grand Canyon Railway runs through the middle of the campground and went to Denny’s for dinner. Phew a long day. We had driven a massive (for us) 288 miles.
