See GBMINI for pictures of Las Vegas, Kingman, and the Grand Canyon; but here’s a bonus pic:
MTTS day 3 – Route 66, the Grand Canyon and a clean car
Today was an early start, because I wanted to visit the Grand Canyon on the way to Flagstaff … met up with five other MINIs so the drive was much more fun than previous days!
First stop – Hoover dam:
Now, more driving – heading to Route 66 in Kingman, and an early lunch in Kingman, at Mr. D’z:
Then off again towards the Grand Canyon – we saw some amazing clouds (and lightning) on the way, but we only had a short rain burst …
And we made it to the Grand Canyon – complete with Quack Quack Jack:
Finally in Flagstaff, there was a car wash organized by MINI Takes The States, raising money as part of Motoring Hearts – it was popular!
Oh – it’s much cooler here in Flagstaff (92f when I got up in Las Vegas this morning, only about 70f now here!)
MTTS on Route 66 – video
Here is a video of a few MINIs driving part of route 66; just a little flavour (too hard to hold the camera steady for long, while driving!)
