I camp with my boy each year at the bottom of the corkscrew/Rainey curve if any locals are going- stop by for a soda pop!
Wifey had me take her to the Grand Canyon couple of weeks ago...We visited the old ghost town of Oatman and my boy feed the wild burros.

Its on a remote part of Route 66 about 20 miles of two lane remote highway. It was about 105F when we drove it...tried to imagine myself in an old Ford Coupe 60 years ago with the windows rolled down, no money and a screamin' kid sitting next to me
.
Walked the Venetian in Vegas and walked North to the Imperial Palace car musuem..nice '41 Continental and a '40 vert...
