Get Your Kicks on Route 66


Framed Photo from Roadkill Cafe on Route 66 in Seligman, Arizona.

These photos are old (mostly 2010) and desperately needed editing, and my Photo Studio Pro just wouldn’t cooperate on the tablet, so it took me a lot longer on the small phone screen. That means, I’m going to quickly share a little photo tour with you, but I don’t have time for a lot of text tonight. This subject was planned because on June 27th, 1985, Route 66 was officially declassified as an American highway.

I wanted to talk about the resilience of The Mother Road and the song that has set records as to the variety of bands and singers who’ve recorded it, but I’ll do that on another post when I’ve had a chance to edit more pictures. In the meantime, enjoy this little photo album of pictures from Seligman and Oatman Arizona.

Next to the cafe, the “town” enhances the parking lot…

And the cars have been parking there for a really long time

You’ll need to take your own car to visit the donkeys in Oatman. They are wild and will not always move because they know they own the town…
