Our recent journey along Route 66 continued after an overnight stop in Laughlin. Boy, was it ever hot there when we arrived about 4 p.m. My new motorcycle did not like the stop-start of the traffic lights going through Bullhead City.
Roger Naylor, who's written a book about Route 66 in Arizona, hikes about 1,000 miles a year, and he wrote in an article for the Arizona Republic one of his favorite places to hike in the state is Mesa Trail near Cool Springs Camp between Kingman and Oatman. Part of the reason few people know about the trail is because the sign marking it often is missing.

The story behind the now-iconic song " Route 66" is Bobby Troup and his wife, Cynthia Troup, were traveling west on that highway to California in 1946 when she came up with the line "Get your kicks on Route 66." Bobby Troup finished the rest of the song, pitched it to Nat King Cole, and it's become one of the most-covered songs in pop-music history. A video from the Women on the Mother Road project by filmmaker Katrina Parks contains an interview with the one of the Troups' daughters, Cynnie.
