Kingman to Flagstaff

Set off a bit later than usual because of the time difference!  Still sleepy!  We are lightweights.  Didn't leave Kingman straight away because we wanted to go to the museum

The museum was in the Powerhouse.  There is a gift shop (of course) and quite an interesting museum too.  For real enthusiasts there is a Route 66 reading room

Great models but I didn't like the 'fake' people so have mostly avoided taking pictures of them!  Anyway, this is a Prarie Schooner - so called because they looked like ships in the desert

Classic cars of course were everywhere and there was a section based on John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, which I haven't read but is now on my list.  Very tragic photos

  And without our trusty guide we might have missed the Ginganticus Headicus!!   

Hackberry General Store another great find 

       This is me and my corvette!

And so we drove on to Flagstaff.  We had lunch at a roadside cafe called Roadkill Cafe!  Very good food though and the menu was very funny to read.  There were some other British people there who warned us of snow in Flagstaff.....we shall see!  The landscape changed noticeably en route.  The desert landscape disappeared and we found pine covered mountains, warnings about elks and bears.  All very wilderness - mind you we didn't see either!

Fascinating place
