We filled Route 66 from the motorcycle dealership in Flagstaff to Seligman, AZ for dinner at the famous Roadkill Diner. The menu was hilarious. We split a splatter platter as an appetizer (chips and salsa). Eddie had the Tire Tread Buff (buffalo burger) for dinner and I had the Hit and Run (chef salad).

When we finished dinner we went to the bar/gift shop area and bought some souvenirs. The area above the bar was covered in dollar bills that people had signed and stapled to the ceiling. After searching for a bit we finally found an empty spot to staple our honeymoon dollar bill. If anyone ever goes there make sure to look for it!

Eddie walked into a makeshift jail outside of the restaurant. He asked me to come visit him in there but it was dark and I wasn’t taking any chances with these giant bugs I’ve been seeing out here. Once I mentioned the bugs he came running out of that jail as fast as he could. The bugs are really like small rodents out here.

After dinner we drove around the section of historic Route 66 in the town. The town Seligman calls itself the birthplace of Route 66. When interstate I-40 was built, Route 66 suffered. The townspeople of Seligman positioned the state of Arizona to denote Route 66 as a historic highway.

I loved looking at all the old, nostalgic looking shops and tourist traps. I’m also completely in awe of neon. Eddie is really excited to see me in Las Vegas because he knows I’ll enjoy all the neon lights out there. I’m sure most of Vegas is LED now but most of the lights that still work on Route 66 are neon.

Right now we’re heading to Kingman, AZ for the night. That’s one of the last towns on Route 66 in Arizona. We’re going to spend the night there tonight and tomorrow we’ll head to Vegas for the next week! The signs say we’re about 300 miles from Los Angeles. I can’t believe we’ve almost made it across the country! What a wild ride!
