Well after that nastiness, I had a work-related appointment, then back on the road at high noon! Headed toward Kingman AZ. The speed limit in AZ is 75 on the interstate, I figure 78-80 is probably pretty safe. The spyder makes short work of I-40 to Kingman. With the higher speed and smooth road, the spyder feels like spirited horse pulling for its head, "
Let me run! Let me run! " I keep prudent speed.
This section of route 66 is about 85 miles long. The highway is quiet, no glaring neon signs and I meet only other travelers along the way. Big motorbikes, wandering motor homes and young people car camping. My kind of adventure. There are many forgotten places along this road. When the interstate when in, these little places dried up and are blowing away in the wind. It is the landscape that I find most beautiful as I leave the very arid true desert for this somewhat greener plateau country. Softly, the rocks give way to high pasture land. Arizona is full of such beautiful places. angela
