What a drive so far. Whichever way you plan to get to Williams will be a blast! If you go around the west side of GC, consider stop at Hoover Dam if you've not been there. It's an incredible feat of engineering and construction, as is the bridge. And then the drive between Kingman and Williams along old Rt 66 (not I-40!) is fun. If you go around the north rim and east side of the canyon, you might consider a side trip to Tuba City, Moenkopi, and west part of the Hopi Res.
Go safe and enjoy!

I just can't imagine a better trip in a better car. Nothing beats a convertible sports car, miles of beautiful scenery and few people on the road. I say that every time we climb to Mt Rainier on a weekday and hit light or no traffic... man I love this... so lucky. Really enjoying your drive Ted.

Day 7. Thursday. 9-30-21. Panguitch Ut to Blanding Ut. 352 miles.
Great roads and scenery. NE on 12 to Torrey and Capital Reef NP.
SE on 95 along the upper reaches of the Colorado river.
Took the Hwy 261 Moki Dugway route. Spectacular drive but still about 3 miles of gravel.
About 37F when I started. Sunny till about 3.
Then some clouds and a bit of rain near Blanding.

Ted.

Ted, these are just fantastic shots... you must be constantly grinning and maybe even yelping out loud at each new discovery. Epic trip man, your best so far I think. Thanks for sharing.

Route 66 JDM show in Williams AZ. Saturday 10-2-2021.
Good show on a nice day. 97 cars on the street. Only 8 roadsters.
It is held on Route 66 in downtown Williams.
Traffic has to creep by and "enjoy"? looking at the car show.
Some nice 410-411s, Dale's 320 truck and Medina's 59 211.

I'd like to see the black and gold 510... after my own heart for a color scheme.

Ray, you can see the front of a red roadster and the side of Ted's green one in two pics. Granted they are not full shots but we all know what roadster look like already, especially Ted's. :wink:
