U.S. Route 66
There are many ghosts along U.S. Route 66. Ghosts of what once was, of a world that has moved on. Lonely outposts, forgotten towns, abandoned ruins, ghosts. Yet they still call out with a melancholy lure, that can quickly capture one’s soul. The route may be less traveled by today, but that can make all the difference.
Well it goes to St. Louis, Down to Missouri, Oklahoma City looks oh so pretty. You'll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico.
Flagstaff, Arizona, Don't forget Wynonna, Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino.
Cool Springs Camp, AZ - Rt 66
After surviving some great hairpin turns and the descent from Sitgreaves pass and through the Black Mountains, the valley opened up and the driving was easy.
Goldroad & Sitgreaves Pass, AZ - Rt 66
My next destination was Sitgreaves Pass, which tops out at 3,550 feet. The pass was named for Captain Lorenzo Sitgreaves, who traveled through the area in 1851.
