Nice set up Tom Patterson. Enjoy the ride and post up often on your journey!
Thanks, Scott! My wife and I have made reservations for campgrounds somewhere in the PNW every month through next Spring. The reason is that if we already pay for a site, then it prompts us to go, even if it's raining cats and dogs. So far, so good! Just got back from a great weekend up at Deception Pass again for a little post-Thanksgiving chillin'.

NOT my photo, date unknown.
Origin of the name: The Seligmans were well-known regional traders in the Southwest even before the era of Route 66, and in 1922 they constructed an adobe trading post in the town of Domingo, adjacent to the Santa Fe Railroad and a small highway that four years later would become a short-lived alignment of Route 66.
The two-story building, which features a curved parapet in the Mission Revival style, was constructed just to the north of an older trading post that dates to 1880.

Rode my motorcycle to California in 1980, stopped at Roys, it was still an on going business. Not the quickest route but the drive through Amboy is one of my favorite ways to get east. Oatman is an interesting detour too.
Seligman is the ultimate route 66 tourist trap, Williams is a close second

^^^Plus one for the shot's composition, Jody. Vanishing points are so cool.
Bonus for such nerve standing in the roadway to get it right.

Very nice, Jody!
I might just stroll down to the Aztec Hotel and talk to the madame. 😉

Explored there as a kid. Way cool. Well, in winter it was.
Hope you got him holed up in there until he got really thirsty.

Hope he ‘tripped’ over the cactus. 😉
Me mum and grandmum dropped 13 yr old me and my twin 9 yr old sibs off and told us
“We’ll pick you back up here in 2 hours.” HaHaHa! What could go wrong? 🤡

I just reviewed this fine thread. Guess I'd better add some route 66 photos from my I-40 journey in Feb.
The most famous corner in Winslow Arizona.
Note the girl (my Lord) in a flatbed Ford.
