Photo-a-Day - June:  Day 2: Empty

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to drive from Las Vegas, Nevada to Flagstaff, Arizona.  In planning my route and having the time, I found I could do quite a bit of the drive on Historic Route 66.  I wasn't about to pass that up.  It was a Friday and once I was on 66, I only saw one other car the whole time. 

It was hot, incredibly dry and there was a strong, relentless wind the waitress in the cafe said blows almost all the time.  As I drove, all I could think, other than "don't let the car break down", was how incredible for the early settlers to come across this country with no roads, no maps and no idea what they would find.  It was an incredible drive and am so glad I took the road less traveled. 

I was also amazed the photo came out somewhat level as, yes, I was driving with one hand and shooting the photo with the other.
