Get Your Kicks on Route 66: Kingman, Arizona to Ramah, New Mexico

 Per Nat King Cole:

Now you go through Saint Looey
Joplin, Missouri,
And Oklahoma City is mighty pretty.
You see Amarillo,
Gallup, New Mexico,
Flagstaff, Arizona.
Don't forget Winona,
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernandino.

From Kingman, I'll try to stay on old Route 66 through Arizona.  I'll walk Toro somewhere in the Kaibob National Forest and again in the Petrified Forest National Park.  I'll stay in Ramah, NM at a tent campsite at Ancient Way Cafe & Outpost.  Here's the map and driving directions:
