Kingman, Laughlin, Bullhead City


Monday January 21st
Cathey was busy watching the inauguration activities on TV, so I drove to Kingman to see the Route 66 museum.  I don't know if the Route 66 museum that I found was the only one or if there is  another one, but I was pretty disappointed with what they had on display, which was not much.  The museum is located in an old power plant building on the SE side of Kingman.  They had three gift stores but the exhibits were mostly about a photographer that worked for Arizona Highways Magazine for many years.  I did buy a book about backroad trips in Arizona from which we should get some use.  
Explored Kingman briefly and then decided to go to Laughlin, NV, it was only about 30 miles.  I drove the entire strip of Laughlin, all ten blocks of it.  I noticed some outlet stores that included a Pendleton Store so stopped to look around.  The only thing I could afford there were the coffee mugs that have their blanket designs imprinted on them; I bought one for each of us and then started back to Lake Havasu.  Bullhead City is spread out for quite aways  along US-95.  I made sure I went through Needles on my way back so I could say that it was a three state trip!
When I got back Cathey needed to go to Walgreens so we went into town and then had supper at the Black Bear Cafe - we finally found it.
