Route 66

Bob, Karon and Holland follow the Mother Road from Chicago to Los Angeles, detouring to Las Vegas and finishing the trip in San Francisco.

Plenty of planning went into this trip. Flights were booked – in to Chicago and out from San Francisco, a hire car, accommodation along the way and tickets/bookings for some of the attractions. It was a pretty full itinerary but we still had time to explore.

The Painted Desert

There's a lengthy drive through the Painted Desert Park with stopping places. It was so hot that we didn't want to stray too far from the car. Broken trunks of petrified trees litter the Painted Desert floor.
