Get Your Kicks on Route 66

Travelling from Vegas heading toward the Canyon we hit the Route 66. Kept looking out for places to get some kicks but not much around in the desert. The road up to the Hoover Dam took forever to get through as traffic was stop start all the way - lots of tourists want to see a big dam. Unfortunately being on the dam, you can't actually see it in all its glory. Arrived into Williams about 7pm last night. Little town of about 200 people about 50mile from the Grand Canyon. Had a local dinner and early night, for an early 4am wake up, and off to the canyon for an early sunrise. Absolutely spectacular. Today was also our first McDonalds day, as we bit the bullet for a breakfast of scrambled eggs and hash browns. Very exciting. By lunch time we hit the road again, back onto Route 66, this time heading for LA. Again, the kicks must have all been happening on the other side of the road. We were however stopped at the border by police, don't know they were looking for weapons, drugs, or they too were looking for some kicks. We found a cheapish place about 60mile from LA, and have crashed for the night. Pete is saying hello everyone while snooring.
