Route 66 Ride 2015

Day five stated out with dry sky's and stayed that way from Flagstaff to Needles CA.  So not to bore you with the details but laundry had to be done and the bike had to be washed but even with the late start I was making the most of my run to CA.  The road for the most parts was I40 till I got too Kingman and that's where I picked up Arizona's longest run of 66  from Kingman all the way  to the California state line.

 

 

 

Great little town on the route was Seligman AZ filled with cool little shops and a great hot dog joint the Roadrunner.

The last town on 66 in AZ is the famous town of Oatman AZ, this town has a lot of history and is famous for the wild jackasses that roam the streets.  These are direct decedent's of the Mules that were used when this was a mining town.  The road to Oatman is to say the least scary for those of you that have ridden the Dragon US129 that's nothing to a 3000 ft. elevation change in 9 miles on a gravel covered road with no guard rails.

 

 

yea no 911 just call the fire station.

 

Best place in Oatman to grab a beer.

 

once out of the mountain town the road got a little better and now I was free and clear to finish my day reaching Needles CA.

 

Ah Day five comes to an end in the town of Needles and after a good nights rest we start on the final leg of the Route.
