Default Route 66 Seliegman AZ to Kingman AZ

For a break from the superslab, how are road conditions headed west?

The last time I was on Rte 66 was in 1965 from St. Louis to Needles California. It was an interesting ride through an interesting chunk of America. It would appear that the section from Seligman to Kingman is about 50 - 60 miles. I would certainly look forward to that ride on my 2009 Sportster for old times sake. Not this year but 2016 could be the year for my Mainland Road Trip.

Route 66 Seliegman AZ to Kingman AZ was excellent last May when I was heading to the west coast.

Why stop at Kingman? Kingman to Oatman is even better.

When I rode that stretch back in '91, the theme song from the Route 66 TV show kept playing in my head.

I tried to drive Rt 66 from Barstow to Needles a few years ago. Some parts are pretty bad.
The Roy's sign in Amboy is very cool.
