Las Vegas to Flagstaff May 2001 |
|
Our drive from Las Vegas to Kingman, Arizona, other than crossing the Hoover Dam, was quite unremarkable. Most of the road is absolutely straight through hard pan desert. I should have taken a picture, but you have already seen other similar photos. We came upon Kingman, Arizona, which is one of the many Arizona and New Mexico towns - |
| that have capitalized on their proximity to old Route 66, "The Mother Road" as christened by writer John Steinbeck and inspiration to a 1960's television show. I wanted to drive a 90 mile stretch of Route 66, but time wasn't on our side, so we stuck to Interstate 40. East of Kingman, the landscape again changed as shown in the photo above. Having previously been to Arizona, I knew that as we approached Flagstaff, we would be in yet another environment dominated by pine trees, red rocks, and hills. |  |
