Kingman, AZ

We have stopped for a couple of nights at Fort Beale RV Park in Kingman, AZ.  We left the Grand Canyon yesterday because we had seen just about everything we wanted to and the weather was getting colder and windier – not much fun outside. Since we already have reservations in Southern AZ starting tomorrow we decided to take off early and visit another Route 66 town.

We visited two history museums, The Route 66 History Museum and the Mohave Museum of History and Arts.

We drove east about 30 miles on route 66 and visited Hackberry General Store. It’s a crazy place that was may have  once been a gas station and general store but is now more of ad-hoc collection of old route 66 memorabilia.
