Lanny trip 30 May 17

Straightened up the garage to make room for Lanny to park.


Obviously we needed a few things at Walmart for our trip.  Lanny is admiring this scooter we saw in the parking lot


A little unusual :-)


Our first stop was at Giganticus Headicus


We had to stop at Hackberry for some good coffee


We waited for the bus, but finally gave up


Rat Rod drove up


Lanny looking for a rusty coke


Always a few new items for sale in the store


A new girl!


Rest stop at the Gas 'n Grub in Truxton


Breakfast stop in Seligman


Lanny feeling it's time to eat


Not our place of choice today


This is a good place to eat


Dessert if you want any


Nice Elk


Lanny had the omlette.  I just had soft scrambled eggs with salsa


We're both eating low carb


Seligman is deep into the Route 66 items


Lots of interesting places


There was an Edsel parked out front of this place for a few years.  Elvis used to sit on the rear bumper to have his picture taken with the tourists.  Someone ran into it a couple years ago and totaled the Edsel


Outside El Charro Norte.  A fine place to eat


Biglefti and Duck.  Another VROC'er that has moved part time to Chino Valley. We met up for dinner


Duck (Jim McCaw) recommended this place.  We enjoyed it


Out in the country.  I had an excellent view and saw a lot of quail and other birds out the window


Chili rellenos.  Mighty good


Store in Ashfork


The Flagstone Capital of the USA.


Hundreds of pallets of flagstone, all graded and measured for shipping out by rail and trucks.










Dozens of these Burma Shave signs along the highway.  I took 4 or 5 of them today


This train is going West.  I took this picture in my rear view mirror.  It was going down hill and soon passed me.  I was going 65 mph.










Angel Delgado's Gift shop and Barber shop


Next few are all in Seligman


















This place is getting more popular.  They have large caverns that you can go down into.  Also a restaurant, motel and live entertainment on occasion.




I think this is Barney's cousin.  He lived in the Cavern, and was green because he didn't get much light


Passed a lot of cows and horses today


The Highway is Indian 18.  It leaves old Route 66 about 5 miles East of Peach Springs and goes 60 miles to the lookout and trailhead down to the Supai Village in the West End of the Grand Canyon.  7 mile trail by foot horse or mule.


Gas station and garage in Peach Springs.  I heard this was going to be an Artisan mall soon


New Tribal Store in Peach Springs


Down Town


A school that serves a large area


Years ago, Truxon was a booming town on Route 66.
  I-40 put them out of business.  There are no open stores or restaurants here any more


Falling down in the desert


Someone was going to open this cafe and motel a few years ago, but it hasn't happened yet


Looks well kept, but hasn't been opened for several years


Mom and Pop






























Verde River


After heavy rain and Spring run off of snow in the mountains, the river can get high. This spill was is to protect some of the property down stream 


Dragon Teeth to break up the flow and prevent more erosion 


The Duck and Biglefti.
