Re: Cruised abandoned Route 66 in Arizona

Hey, what are doing taking an old pickup truck out bouncing and bumping along on an unmaintained abandoned road in the high desert?

Dang, Kurt! That is a great catalog you put together there! Very cool being “out there”, I’m sure! Really well done! Thanks for sharing that.

How long did it take you to do the trip? How many abandoned miles?

I know what you mean! There were several RV campers, think some were hunting, and/or ORV exploring. Definitely off the grid, but you hear interstate traffic.

What a neat thing to with us. Never thought about that much, yet your journey is like the explorer in myself.

Cool Beans, thanks for sharing!

Thanks! For me it's an easy drive from Prescott, even at the speed limit. The Welch Road segment is about 4.5 miles total, the Crookton Road part about 2.5 miles.

My rust bucket isn't worthy of car show and driveway pictures. There are people more crazy than me, who do rallies around the world, in older cars! Someone in town has a '39 Chevy coupe, modified for such rallies. Think it takes more money than I'll ever see.

Here is a bonus shot, from the same outing, but on the old US89. It's a very short drive off the highway, just looks like it's out in the sticks.
