Mile 340: Kingman, AZ
We left Oatman and traveled the winding, scenic road past Black Mesa back out to Rte. 40, which brought us directly into Kingman, AZ. Since it was time to refuel both us and the car, we stopped in for lunch. The draw for me, however, was not its 50’s style or Historic Route 66 memorabilia, but rather the house-made root beer. It was sweet, but not overly sweet; lightly carbonated, with hints of caramel. It had a richness to it, almost like a cross between root beer and cream soda. If I weren’t so full from my grilled cheese sandwich, I would almost certainly have ordered a root beer float, as I suspect it would have been simply divine. Hey! A shout-out to Jason and Joanne… 
By now we’d been weaving back and forth across historic Route 66 for a while, and I am here to tell you that every business along Historic Route 66 (or near Historic Route 66) sells Historic Route 66 tchotchkes, or
has an Historic Route 66 theme, or displays Historic Route 66 memorabilia. The gas station in Ludlow, CA? Historic Route 66 shot glasses, coasters, ashtrays, key chains, and more. Oatman, AZ? Historic Route 66 pins, earrings, coasters, glasses, key chains, etc. Kingman touts itself as “The Heart of Route 66″ so it was not surprising that the nice ladies at the Power House Visitors Center offered up Mr. D’z Route 66 Diner as a lunch suggestion.
