Day Two was more relaxing as we ventured into wide open spaces. Had to pull out the Owners Manual for my Honda CRV and re-learn how to use the cruise control. Traffic was light and we were able to enjoy the California spendor as we headed east.

| Entering Arizona! |
By late morning we crossed into Arizona near Lake Havasu.

And enjoyed the many colorful and spectucular mesas that populate the scenery in that state!

| Historic Route 66 in Williams, Arizona! |
The famous US Route 66 has long been a part of our history as well, and beginning at Barstow, most of the next 2,200 miles of our trip will be along historical Route 66, and places Beth and I have lived when young with our families, or later during our married lives. Such places include Amarillo, TX, where I lived when in junior high; Weatherford, OK; Tulsa, OK; Fort Leonard Wood, MO; Chanute AFB, IL; and the Chicago area.

| Even Route 66 gas! |
We made a deliberate side trip into the town of Williams, Arizona, where the town has taken special effort to define their Route 66 heritage!
