Mojave Desert

Our Route 66 "start" destination was Kingman, Arizona. After leaving Primm this morning (we ended up back at the mall as Mike forgot to pack ANY shirts...) we headed out. We drove through pieces of California in order to get to Kingman. We spent a few hours traversing the Mojave Desert, which has a beauty all its own.

The desert was full of Joshua Trees, in bloom.

We stopped at the "Route 66" tourist bureau to get some advice on how to travel the route and see the most.

We ate at Mr D's. They're famous for their homemade root beer - the BEST I've ever had. The sweet potato fries were delicious. 

We then drove through Seligman and discovered these wonderful old cars. Too bad it was the middle of the day and the light wasn't right for photos.

We drove past these wonderful old chairs, outside a small drive-in. I asked Mike to turn around so I could take some pictures. This turned out to be one of my favorite shots. We stayed the night in Williams.
