Look Out Here We Go Again

 Beautiful weather on our adventure

Picked up the "girls" Tuesday morning and we headed towards Kingman, AZ. We are off to relive our past on Route 66.

First stop - the Route 66 Museum in Kingman.  I think this museum is really well done. The building the museum is in was originally the Powerhouse. It was built in two phases between 1907 and 1911. This Powerhouse not only provided power for Kingman and the mines around Kingman, but also for the construction of Hoover Dam.  Lots to see but a great variety of exhibitions. The museum is on the second floor and there is an elevator - you just have to find it first.

If you will notice the sign above their heads, they are standing at 3,333 feet above sea level.

If only that phone booth was larger, they might have found Superman. For some reason their calls did not go through.

We spent quite a bit of time wandering through the museum, reading about the depression and the creation of Route 66. Lots of historical information about Kingman and Arizona.

Waiting for our milkshake order from the Chat and Chew. We would have had a long time to wait, so we gave up and moved on.

We headed downstairs to the Electric Vehicle Museum. The idea of an EV started much earlier than I thought it did. This museum contains a 1909 Ellwell-Parker baggage tug as well as EVs from the 40s, 50s, and 60s. They are looking for a larger space because they cannot show all their cars in this small space.

We finally found ourselves leaving the museum into their really nice gift shop. Of course, we had to check it out. I think Pat is the only one who left with a bag.

Out in the parking lot they have this great Route 66 sign that you can drive through and stop to have a photo op. A really nice guy took our picture for us. We lucked out because there was nobody in line in front of us and we were done when another car pulled in behind us.

It was time for us to check into our hotel and get some dinner. See ya in the next post.
