Has anyone traveled RT 66 from Seligman to Oatman down to Rte 40?

Don't know where you are from in Az but there are a lot of us in Lake Havasu and surrounding communities. I run the Cars and Coffee event in Havasu the first sunday of each month. If you are close enough feel free to come on by between 7 and 9 am, on the inside road at the Havasu Mall, across from the Havasu Airport.

i feel the same way living in GA. I’d love to do that route, but it’s too far from me.

Just a little history on the Sitgreaves pass. In the early days of the Okie's migration west driving their old hoopties they would have to back up the hill because the old cars didn't have enough power to make it in the forward gears.

The road to stay away from is I-40. LOTS of construction with multiple delays in that very area West of Flagstaff. You never know what you are going to find except guaranteed single-lane travel and the terrible multi-lane merges to get to that point. If you've got pavement, you're lucky. It's a massive project that has been going on for more than a year. I encountered it last September then again in June of this year.

Oatman is famous for it’s muti-generational Donkeys roaming freely on the streets and sidewalks.
Keep your windows up, as they like to stick their heads into car windows to beg for treats.
You can buy inexpensive Donkey food in the town to hand feed, and the Donkey’s will follow you everywhere.

They are vicious vicious animals, so be careful. They may just up, and stand still so you have to walk around them.
Or lay in wait to attack when you're not looking.

They are burrows for crice sake! Left in this area by the minors a hundred or so years ago. What a country.
They are a prime example of the fittest and smartest surviving.

AZ's comment made me laugh... I guess it is because that was exactly what I was thinking... Welcome to a new era, people actually pay attention to politics and the right is finally being heard, which apparently bugs the **** out of the left. KARMA.....
