Old school route 66, in Seligman, AZ.

We arrived in Seligman, AZ. after two days of detours and hard driving through California. We were happy to finally arrive in the cooler northern Arizona mountains after such a difficult journey. Seligman is "Old school" route 66 and as we discovered a famous location for Europeans to visit while in the southwest. Seligman is a recommended "must see" in many European travel books and oddly we have never heard of this town, until recently.
   The town was small and eclectic, a hodge-podge of decaying buildings, and thriving tourists businesses, and somehow it worked. Seeing Seligman is a one day affair, and maybe an hour affair at that. The food was good and well priced here. So if you want good ole Americana cuisine, at affordable prices, this beats the neighboring town of Williams, Arizona, hands down. The quirky buildings and unique wild west charm make this town a worthy visit while in the area.
 

I love silly things like this.

The slow moving town and monsoon skies in the background.

A town that refuses to die and in the process has found a second lease on life with tourism.

Not too often one can see a real wild west prison.

Outhouse for two. I love it! I could talk with my wife and she couldn't leave.

As route 66 towns go, this place is affordable and authentic.

A bi-gone era.

Artistic, quirky? You tell me.

The town does a great job of making fun of itself which I thought was great.

The kids liked this ole wagon best.
