Heading to the Grand Canyon

We’ve escaped Vegas! First stop, the Hoover Dam on the Colorado River.

The border of Nevada and Arizona is halfway across the dam.

The two states are currently on the same time zone, however they will be an hour apart in a few weeks.

In to Arizona and the roads are much less well kept. In the other states, the highways had sponsorship. They need to tell Arizona!

We hit route 66 at Kingman. For those not up to speed, route 66, known as the mother road, crosses USA from Chicago to Los Angeles, and is scenic, historic and iconic.

It’s amazing what you can buy for route 66! We chose not to go for the earrings, still holding out for the gun earring!

Rickety Cricket Brewing for lunch that turned out to be dinner. Not only was it happy hour, but the pizzas were the best with so much topping on them!

We also stopped in Hackberry and Seligman. Much of the journey followed the train route, carrying many extremely long cargo trains.
