Re: Cruised abandoned Route 66 in Arizona

I enjoyed that very much . We rode 66 as much as possible on our cross country motorcycle ride . Dont think I would do that section on a bike .

Great pictures!

You must have a lot confidence in your trucks reliability these days!

I might be tempted if I was driving a fully loaded water truck!

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. I especially liked the pictures of the culvert bridges.

Wife and I did a similar thing with the transcontinental railroad routing after watching the show, Hell On Wheels.

Cool. Spent some time cruising the back roads myself in that region. Thanks for sharing.

Hey, I've been to that museum! I don't ride a motorcycle, guess it depends if you never ride on dirt. From the Superslab to the pavement, it's 0.3 mile. I would think you could weave around on the pavement, along the edge is more intact. You just can't go fast, that's what the Interstate is for. I suggest turning west, turn around at the gate and come back.

This is a screenshot of the Flickr map. I used the iPhone map app, with the satellite image enabled.

I would do it on a BMW 1250 GS not on my Goldwing. We did mostly two lane roads there and back took 7 weeks
