It was a chilly morning as we assembled at Railroad Pass in anticipation for our drive to Topock AZ. A sizable group divided into two groups of 12 cars lined up and were ready to go. The drive to Kingman, our first stop, was fairly boring except for spend most of the time dodging sizeable pot-holes. Arizona should pave their roads! When we turned on to Route 66 the drive got interesting, especially when we hit the twisties. Porsches are built for tight turns on narrow roads and we made the most of it. We were temporarily delayed by an active shooting in the old west town of Oatman. After they cleared the carnage, we were able to proceed through town. I did see a sign that the next shooting would take place at 1:30pm.

Topock 66 BBQ and Grill is quite a unique place nestled along the Colorado River. After enjoying a wonderful BBQ lunch, our day-trippers disbanded and headed home. My trip gauge read 335 miles when I arrived home. It was a great three-state tour!
