The Last Day of Traveling

Originally, on the night before, we planned to spend last night in Kingman or Needles. In fact Brianne wanted to make it to Needles but thought we wouldt'n be able to make it so we were prepared to stop in Kingman. In fact we arrived in Needles so early that we decided to go all the way back to LA.

We woke up that morning and got ready to go surprizingly quickly. We said our good byes to the Grand Canyon and got ourselves back to 66. Brianne and I worked on her Arizona 66 passport and got the rest of it stamped. We made many stops to complete it and passed though many samll towns. By the time we got to Kingman in the morning we realised we were going a lot quicker than we thought we would. We Passed through some beautiful desert mountains before hitting Oatman and petting the wild burros there.

On the way to Needles, Brianne showed me one of her favorite places. A quite place in the middle of the desert where everything is completly quite and it looks exctly like the backdrop of some movie. It was nice and sort of funny when she told me to listen to the silence when at that exact moment a TV some one had thrown out there decided to crash further down the hill.

We made it to Needles by 1:30 and that's when we decided to make the drive all the way to L.A. We got slightly lost in Needles but found our way again and continued on. We made one last stop on the Mother Road to see the Bottle Tree or rather Trees. We met the owner of the property and the creater of all of the racks  that the bottles slide onto. He was as interesting as the cool bottle trees themselves which were all shapes, sizes and colors. We added our own bottles to the growing forest as thanks to the Mother Road and continued.

Soon we got on the interstate and said farwell to the route. We pulled into LA during a brillant sunset and got some In'n'Out burgers. Tomorrow we plan to go to Santa Monica Pier to offically end the trip at the end of the route.
