Day 20 - 66 Route on Kicks Your Get

Today we began our drive across Route 66 - backwards.  We began in Barstow, passed through Kingman and didn't forget Winona (although it is very forgettable - not even on our AAA map), and Flagstaff, Arizona.  Our stop for the day is Gallup, New Mexico.   Along the way we went from the bleak Mojave to interesting but dry landscape, to green and treed, to beautifully colored rock cliffs. Amazingly, it's fairly cool and has been raining for the past several days.  Lots of interesting names:  Roadkill Cafe, Baghdad Cafe (in a wrecked and rusted old trailer), and the Honolulu Club (no palm trees or ocean anywhere nearby).
