Hello All -- I have officially lost track of the days, but I consider that a good thing since this IS a vacation. -- Since my last message, we travelled to the Grand Canyon and are now in Las Vegas for a few days. Neither of these are officially on Route 66 but since Lou has not been to either, we figured they would be good side trips. -- Grand Canyon of course is, well, grand :). I had been there twice but not for at least 20 years. We hiked a good 4 or 5 miles along the Canyon Rim Trail and had a great lunch in the old El Tovar lodge. -- Yesterday, we drove from Williams, AZ to Las Vegas. There was a good stretch of Route 66 between Williams and Kingman, AZ. In Seligman, AZ, the town has pretty much capitalized on the Route 66 experience with some really intense tourist and memorabilia shops. In fact, tour busses heading to the Grand Canyon from Laughlin, NV stop there. It was intersting to see so many people from Europe and Asia buying up hats and shirts of Route 66. Do the know what it is even? -- We are staying at Ballys in LV and this is a nice break from the road. Hope to get some pool time and eat some good food without losing my shirt in the casinos (actually, gambling is about the last thing I do here.
Those can't be the same binoculars that we had when I was a kid. Do they still work?
ReplyDeleteThey are -- and I found if you don't use the zoom, they work great -- not bad for a reject off the shelf haha/k
