Route 66 - 2000

Headed to Oatman


In June, 2000, Bill and Carrie once again took advantage of the Mother Road Rally to travel
Route 66.  This time, a couple of friends of theirs, Mike and Arlene, were able
to join them.  Mike and Bill headed out to meet up with the women in Flagstaff, and they
were on their way!

They all took this adventure based on a philosphy for living:
Never take a freeway when you can take a highway.
Never take a highway when you can take a state road.
It's not the destination...it's the journey.
Here's some of their favorite memories....
