Back on November 28, I mentioned that although I thought that our drive to Oatman would be the highlight of the trip, we had another day that equalled it. This was that day, and it’s taking three posts to tell you about it (this is the second). See an...

This post describes our drive from Yuma to Ajo, with a detour to the Painted Rock Petroglyph Site, on Wednesday, November 20th. See an interactive map of the basic route here. When we shot the first photo at 11:23 (I was driving so Andrea shot it), we were on...

On Tuesday, November 19th, my daughter and I visited the Hi Jolly Cemetery at Quartzsite, then made the easy 85-mile drive to Yuma, where we visited the grave of one of the Yukon’s best-known early characters, “Arizona Charlie” Meadows. See an interactive map of the basic route here. At...

By about 12:15 on Monday, November 18th, we were back on Highway 95, headed south to Quartzsite, 79 miles away. We made a couple of interesting detours on the way, though. See an interactive map here. I suppose this drive could get boring and that’s why so many people...

Although we didn’t put a lot of miles on the car on Monday, November 18th, I shot a lot of photos so am breaking the day into two posts, Kingman to Lake Havasu City, then on to Quartzsite where we overnighted. See an interactive map of the first part...

On November 18th, I posted on Facebook: “I expect that yesterday’s Route 66 afternoon will be the highlight of the trip. An excellent museum, mind-boggling scenery, and a quirky and charming little village in the middle of nowhere.” As it turned out we had another day that equalled it,...

On Sunday, November 17, we drove 195 miles from Phoenix to Kingman, arriving at about 1:45. Kingman is one of the places that anyone with an interest in Route 66 must visit, being in the heart of the longest remaining stretch of Route 66 (158 miles). Starting in Chicago...

Sunday, November 17th – the stress of getting to Arizona was past. In my current state it’s hard to believe that I used to travel, and arrange and coordinate travel, for a living. But for the next week we’d be on the road in a particularly beautiful car, so...

After the marathon day previous, Cathy and I were looking forward to a relaxing day on June 10th. It was only 187 km total to our destination, a historic hotel in Powell River, with most of the route new to Cathy. And having two ferry rides would be fun...

At the end of the last post, Tyson and I had turned back onto the Dempster Highway at 1:05 on April 10th, and were headed for an overnight stay at Dawson City. This post covers a lot of spectacular miles, and has 54 photos. Of course I have a...
