I started off early from Kingman, taking Route 66 out into the desert…
If you’ve ever read Bill Bryson’s book “The Lost Continent” he talks extensively about his memories of the old Burma Shave adverts from the 1950s dotted along Route 66. Well they’re still there… unloved and pretty much unread these days.
Getting on a pretty much unused road at 0800 on a sunday meant I could give the Challenger its first real workout without worrying too much about cops…
