7/17/12  tuesday
Bad night at the Days Inn. Turns out youth baseball team checked in about 8p.  Kids were running and being noisy untill 1130p.  Mangement was trying to help but it wasn't working. After a continnal breakfast headed out to do some geocaching to the Historical Kingman which was great. Lots of history here.  Met the Director of the Visitor Ctr who is a geocacher and on the commitee for creating Rt66 caches.  The Center has a small museum but the big one is down the street, Mohave Museum.  Visit the home of Bunny/Jim who are the managers of the MC rv park.  Then back onto I-40 to williams.  Stopped for apple pie at the Pine Country cafe.  Very good. Continue to Flagstaff for some shopping Wal Mart.  Arrive back at the Rv around 8:30p.  
Found 12 caches today.  Eight more to go for a total 3000 finds.

To Kingman 7/16

Monday 7/16/12
Decided to do something different on my days off (mon/tue) by going to Kingman.  About a 3 hr trip west.  Wanted to do some geocaching from Williams to Kingman.  Nice  stops to see various Rt 66 roads.  Lunch in Seligman. Arrived at Days Inn/Kingman about 5:30p . After checking in, my friends Bunny/Jim at MC rv park told me  to have dinner at Scotty's Chicken cafe.  It was very good.  Back at hotel to relax.  Will act as tourist tomorrow and more geocaching.

Near Ashford (base of mtn from Williams) to find this cache.
