We paused in Flagstaff,  AZ last night to reconnect with Route 66.  We will miss a dew miles because of the side trip to see the Grand Canyon.

The Murano is due for an oil change in about a hundred miles and Flagstaff is the best location to see a Nissan dealer.

I probably haven’t made any comments about our choice of vehicles for this trip.  I am reminded of a decision I made more than 10 years ago to never be without a 4WD or AWD vehicle.   The Mini could have made much of the drive,  but the added ground clearance allowed us to take a number of other alternate 66 alignments.  The Murano has performed admirably!  So far only the left front wheel bearing replacement and now an oil change.  Not bad!

Waiting now at the Flagstaff Nissan dealer for the oil change to be completed,  then on to Kingman via Route 66!
