Got My Kicks On …

6 October 2011 767 km / 477 mi (map)

I’m in Las Vegas for a few days for a conference. I had a day off so I got my kicks on Route 66 today.

I also got some pics on Route 66, too … 🙂

The part from Kingman to Oatman is an intense drive. The speed limit 20 for quite a while, and I suspect most the tickets are written posthumously.

Update from 2025

As I’m revisiting old social media posts from the time, I have to share one comment from a friend who had also driven the Kingman to Oatman stretch. He said at the time, “I have only rarely suffered the odd fatal injury.” 🤣
