Some, but not all, of Route 66 still exists

Barstow, CA to Flagstaff, AZ

Miles today: 351

Total miles to date: 1,663

Took I-40 to Flagstaff , AZ today. Drove about 90 miles on Route 66 and would have taken it the whole way if I could because there was no one on it. But you the speed limit is 55 mph and I-40 is 75 mph in most places so I went for speed. I can report that I did not see Large Marge, but I did see the Bagdad Cafe.

Bought my ticket for the Grand Canyon tomorrow. This is an upside to the pandemic, because attendance is down so it will likely be less crowded than normal. I'm not sure where I'll be stopping tomorrow night because I'm not sure how long I'll be enjoying the views tomorrow. Apparently, the park is one of the ten most deadly national parks! What a thrill.
