The Duffel Bag

Where the spirit leads the feet will follow.

Down distant paths for unmapped miles.

Heads forget but hearts remember:

The art of living knows no bounds.

Old Route 66

We drove a portion of Old Route 66 through Arizona, starting at Golden Shores (near the California border) to Winslow. It was a fun day with a lot of stops visiting several of the old landmark places along the way.

We stopped for a roadside breakfast on the way up to Oatman.
