2024 WB Day 15 - Where It All Began

Back down in Williams is Bearizona where more development is making this place even more special.

Being morning, the animal life was much more animated.

Bears…

raccoons…

arctic foxes…

Although the jaguar and black panther were less engaged!

There’s not much going on in Ash Fork but being the home of flag stone it sure makes up for it.

Closer to Seligman we saw the little red signs made famous by Angel Delgadillo to attract customers to his barber shop.

No shaves these days but Angel’s story of starting the historic r66 movement is infectious.

Of course getting a drink at the Sno Cap next door is a must. Angel’s nephew John Michael keeps his father Juan’s tradition alive, of serving food with a smile and a twist! Straw?… sure!

You’d like a shake? Sure!

Mustard?

Small Coke? Yeah we have them too!

Dropping down through the rocky hills from Seligman…

…eventually leads to Hackberry.

Plenty of old cars rusting away…

and a last chance to buy something Route66…

As if there hadn’t been enough places or space to fit it in the cars!

On to Kingman through the newly opened old Main street with its freshly presented buildings…

And Bad gAss Garage where Trebe was working on a Convertible Pontiac GTO.

It’s a car builder’s dream workshop and Trebe loves stopping to talk cars and stuff.

We stayed at the Hualapai Mountain Resort 15 degrees cooler up the hill, which at least dropped it to 83.

The company was good, two and four legs…

and ended another cracking day on the road.
