Part Two Ed Beard’ s “Dragonlord” Rt 66 Trip We took a side route off the highway to visit the Grand Canyon West and walk out on the Skybridge standing on nothing but glass over 4000 feet off the ground. On the way back, we stopped to take some amazing photos in the Joshua Tree National park while tourists took pictures of the Dragonlord. Our first official stop on Route 66 was in Seligman, AZ where we met ‘Cowboy Dale’ a character of the town drawing and his signature to an old vw van parked out front famous enough to be on an iconic mural in town. The and after a trade of a copper license plate for a hoodie off Dragonlord again gained a quick crowd outside of the Ed’s back with ‘Cowboy Dale’, we were on our way. We Copper Cart, Route 66 Motorporium and the owners John stopped for a great photo op at the Roadkill Cafe, some tasty and Debbie not only had some great items in their store lunch at Snow Cap Burgers while sitting in their ‘toilet seat to buy but a mini motor museum to peruse through. They garden’ and then back on the road. were super friendly and gifted us with t-shirts designed The next stop was the Painted Desert and Petrified by their son to remember them by. Ed had to add a quick Forest. Aside from some amazing landscapes and incredible sites to see, we were able to see the telephone poles still standing as a monument to where the original Route 66 road had been and a rusted 1930’s Studebaker sedan sitting there, lost to time, as the grave marker for that long forgotten road.
