And BTW, we were going to spend the first night in Needles so we can drive the old Route 66 through Oatman AZ. Past Oatman the road is desolate and way the heck off the beaten path, but that's the kind of road trips we like. Then 3 nights Sedona and one night in Palm Springs on our return to visit friends.
The following link is a nice video about Route 66, Oatman, etc. We'll drive this route. This guy, Steve of Sidetrack Adventures, is really good at what he does.
