Re: Cruised abandoned Route 66 in Arizona
Great pictures and thanks for sharing. I have all of the maps and have this on my bucket list to do. I haven't really decided where I'm going to start and end. I want to go where there is still some scenery left.

Re: Cruised abandoned Route 66 in Arizona
The wife and I went with another couple to AZ. about 15 years ago and one of our stops was to see the other gals cousin, her and her husband ran a little store/restaurant that was in an old Route 66 Gas Station. First time I ever had Navajo Tacos aka Indian Fry Bread...delish!

Thanks for sharing your road trip adventure with us. It's been 5 years since I spent time in that part of Az.

Re: Cruised abandoned Route 66 in Arizona
Thanks for sharing.The culverts and bridges really caught my attention as my Granddad was a foreman on a crew that built ones like that back in the thirties. Nice scenery too.

Here is a bonus shot, from the same outing, but on the old US89. It's a very short drive off the highway, just looks like it's out in the sticks. ![]()

Re: Cruised abandoned Route 66 in Arizona
Thanks! For me it's an easy drive from Prescott, even at the speed limit. The Welch Road segment is about 4.5 miles total, the Crookton Road part about 2.5 miles.

Re: Cruised abandoned Route 66 in Arizona
I know what you mean! There were several RV campers, think some were hunting, and/or ORV exploring. Definitely off the grid, but you hear interstate traffic.

Re: Cruised abandoned Route 66 in Arizona
Thank you! It still has the Idaho dealer decal on the tailgate, and has a fair amount of rust, but probably isn't growing fast around here, with the drought we're in.

Re: Cruised abandoned Route 66 in Arizona
Thanks, I enjoy this thread. Artistic pictures. I especially like the one you marked "A typical culvert, half steel pipe."

Re: Cruised abandoned Route 66 in Arizona
What a great adventure you had and shared it with us. I'll probably never be able to do this so it was wonderful to see the country side from your excellent photos. I can only imagine the way it was, thank you...

Re: Cruised abandoned Route 66 in Arizona
Welcome! AZ makes it easy for artistic photos. Glad you liked the culvert, seems silly, but it's like a museum in the middle of nowhere.

It's a mueseum that's not being maintained and will eventually disappear. Thanks again for sharing it with us.

Re: Cruised abandoned Route 66 in Arizona
Really cool! I am looking to do some of Rt 66 next Summer in a '66 Mustang. So probably can't go where you did, but wow! Neat!
