Day four of my 2021 summer trip up Route 66 on my Africa Twin Adventure Sport. I start in Kingman and ride into Williams, AZ. My first stop is the Kingman Route 66 Museum in Kingman’s old power station. From there I travel up 66 stopping at Giganticus Headicus before before entering Seligman to visit Angel Delgadillo’s barbershop.
Angel Delgadillo is the reason we still have Route 66. When I40 bypassed Seligman, he went through the state and campaigned to build nostalgia for the route. As a result, the Historic Route 66 Association of Arizona was created. Other states saw the success of the communities on 66 had in Arizona and asked him for advice on how to do the same for their states, which he did. In Seligman, I had the opportunity to talk with his son in law and visit the barbershop. After that I went to The Snow Cap Drive-in, his brother’s hamburger stand next door and had a REALLY good burger and shake.
After leaving Seligman, I visited an old R66 bridge that has been bypassed and traveled through Ash Fork before finishing up in Williams, AZ.
