Arizona Kicks on Route 66
Arizona Kicks on Route 66 | Roger Naylor
3 posts
Arizona is home to the longest intact portion of Route 66, stretching 158 miles from west of Ash Fork to the California border. In words and pictures, Naylor and Lindahl explore the history and nostalgia surrounding the "Mother Road," and the great swaths of Arizona that it passes through. They describe a wealth of spectacular and easy side trips that surround the highway. Arizona, the birthplace of Historic Route 66, is where you can still "get your kicks."

1. Saguaro cacti. Actually they naturally grow a few miles away, but it's really the only place on earth to find them.
2. If you want snow, drive 2 hours. Stay home and no snow.
3. Mountains.
4. Deserts.
5. Tucson Festival of Books. 😜

PS: For more local love, check out #whyilovewhereilive out on Instagram for their coverage around Tucson. I'm up north near Phoenix.

saguarosally @Debiw781 Snow big deal. 😜 7y
Debiw781 We were snowbound once in the mountains of NC and that cured me of snow 😂. My nieces have never seen it though. 7y

Betty @saguarosally our puppy was born in Phoenix. We drove to Oklahoma City to get him. His litter mate went to Minnesota. So OKC was the mid-point for all 3 of us to meet. 7y
CotziasReads @saguarosally beautiful. Headed home to Tucson in 2 weeks to visit family, have an Eegee's Teagee and browse through Bookman's. I miss Arizona sunsets. From a Arizonian in Virginia. 7y
ferskner Awww home! 7y

saguarosally @monkeygirlsmama Dare I ask what Stargirl is? 7y
ferskner South Carolina. I'm from Tempe originally. 7y
Betty @saguarosally we got him this month, so yes in the summer 7y
monkeygirlsmama Hit submit too soon. Whoops. In the book Stargirl, Senor Seguaro is an old cactus 🌵 in Archie's backyard. He's supposed to be wise and the characters go to him for advice. LoL 7y

SaraFair Hilarious thermometer! 8y
saguarosally @SaraFair I'm pretty sure it's an original antique. I've chuckled at it since I was a young girl. 8y

The sign is on #route66 in Wilmington, IL. Wilmington is right by Braidwood, where a good bit of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles was filmed. #photoadaynov16 #planestrainsautomobiles #planestrainsandautomobiles @RealLifeReading
