Route 66 Classic in Northern Arizona, June 11, 2005 - Be there! Options

[ThinAir]

This is just to get things started.

Date: June 11, 2005
What: Run old Route 66 in your teener between Williams/Ash Fork, Arizona and Laughlin, NV.

We're still working out the details, like exactly where to start/end and which direction to run the old road, but it's officially on and you're gonna have a great time!

It's still just warm, not hot in that part of Arizona in June. Just bring your shades! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)

Ok, folks - here's the tentative schedule for the Route 66 Classic - June 11, 2005

1. 9:14 a.m.Meet for breakfast at Mandy's Route 66 Grill in Ash Fork, AZ at 322 W. Lewis Ave (the main drag through town).
2. Stop at Grand Canyon Caverns (22 miles west of Seligman - about 45 minutes from Ash Fork)
3. Stop in Kingman for regrouping, refueling, whatever before heading to Oatman.
4. Stop in Oatman to sightsee, snack, lunch, whatever. No formal lunch stop, just figure it out as we go.
5. End the day with Dinner at Avi Casino & Resort.

There is not a lot to choose from for eating in Ash Fork. I'm waiting for a call-back from Mandy's Route 66 Grill, but with a name like that it just seems like the place to go. If it doesn't work out, we'll move the start point 20 miles East to Williams where there are plenty of options. Update 5/11: Mandy's Grill called back. They'll be happy to have us for breakfast. They just got done remodeling the place. Don't know much else about it, but it will add to the adventure that way!

Other than the start time, there is no fixed schedule for this. Just a bunch of 914 owners out for a fun day together on some twisty roads. I figured that with a relatively late breakfast there was no need to schedule a formal lunch stop so lunch is either bring your own box lunch or pick something up in Kingman.

The Avi has a good reputation, and from the web site it looks like the buffet would make a great dinner place, but I haven't actually been there. If anyone has, they can chime in here.

If you are planning to come, post it here so we have an idea of who to expect.
Have you ordered your Route 66 Classic T-shirt yet?

So Howard, NO TRACK FEES! Hope you can make it!
