The Grand Canyon accompanied us a long time, slowly fading in away in the past, while we were driving direction Williams. From time to time we stopped, looked back and still saw the North Rim in the shining sunlight. We felt a bit sad to leave this World Wonder (it is one of the 8 Natural World Wonders).In Williams, we hit again the old historic Route 66 and we saw the first sign, indicating the distance to Los Angeles. That made us feel proud and at the same time, it becomes obvouis that the journey soon will be over.
Soon after Williams we took the old Route 66 again, which meant peaceful driving, almost nobody drives on it anymore, because the freeway is so close. At one little gas station we stopped, talked a bit with three guys working there (but at the moment there was no work). They told us, that in spring many pass here on bicycle, while in summer and fall when it is too hot, mainly the bikers on motorbikes from Europe are thundering through. |
| Seligman in the evening |
After a long run, we made it to Seligman, a little funny 66 town, still living in that tradition. The steakhouse here in town has the slogan: You kill it,we grill it. That means, whatever you run over by car, bring it in, they will prepare it as a meal! We has dinner at Lilo´s Cafe, an old German lady who somehow landed here. The highlight of the evening was a enourmous piece of Schwarzwälder cake, tasting like the real thing.
