Road Trip, Day 2



Kingman, AZ - Amarillo, TX
[751 miles, boring level 8/10]

After a great night's sleep in the Day's Inn - Kingman, Arizona #2 we took off for a full day on I-40. One of the cool things about I-40 is that it parallels (or is) the old Route 66. We decided to grab breakfast at an old diner in Seligman, Arizona that's on a piece of Route 66. Apparently, we weren't the only ones who read the tour books. In this ghost town of 500 people there were no fewer than 6 tour buses filled with German and Japanese tourists, which was great because we were just starting to miss Pier 39. I was just waiting to see someone with an 'Alcatraz Psycho Ward Patient' t-shirt on.

Also in Seligman grabbing breakfast was the San Diego Mazda Miata Club doing a road trip of their own. 8 convertible Mazda Miatas driven by 50+ year olds with their wives, it was like a moving Viagra commercial.
