It’s time once again for the infamous Route 66 Fun Run.
http://www.azrt66.com/funrun.htm This will be my 10th year (Mike & Ginny have 11). We will meet at the Chevron Station just east of the I-17 on Carefree Hwy on Friday, April 29th about 11 or 11:30am with departure at noon. This is a good place to fuel up and pickup snacks, drinks and food.
We will head north on I-17 to the Route 69 exit toward Prescott. We bypass Prescott via Fain Road to Route 89 and on to a pit stop in Chino Valley at the Safeway Fuel/Kentucky Fried Chicken parking lot. Next, north to the I-40 at Ashfork. I-40 west to Seligman to pickup our Fun Run Packets and eat at Sno Cap (tradition).
Then on Route 66 all the way to Kingman’s Travel Lodge

Friday nights in the past we have all eaten at the Dambar in Kingman
http://mapq.st/haMv4f but, we are working on alternates.
Saturday morning, those who with will drive back to Seligman via I-40 for the official Fun Run. If you haven’t been on it you should. There are many place to stop and visit, sight see etc.
For those who wish you can drive downtown Kingman and park your car for the day at the car show. We all end up there sometime Saturday. Some later after the Fun Run. Car show breakup is 3 or 4pm.
Saturday night is spent in the motel parking lot with drinking and pizza and mayhem. The Pizza Hut is right across the street from the parking lot.
On Sunday the normal Fun Run proceeds on through Oatman (a quaint western mining town filled with gift shops, restaurants and donkeys.) Then on to the finish line in Topock. Not much to see there, but then you can say you finished. Return from there is back through Kingman, Rte 93 via Wikieup, Wickenburg and home.
Alternately you are all invited to Jay and Trish Steinbarger’s home for breakfast on Sunday. Jay lives uphill in Kingman in a beautiful home full of good food.
