NEW! Route 66 Tour – Friday, June 6th
(Starts in Kingman, AZ & Ends in Williams)
Gentlemen and ladies.... start your engines. WOW! What an exciting thought. It's not just a thought at Bloomington Gold Tours. Be one of the 500 participants that hear these exciting words. We'll cruise on the longest stretch of Route 66 left in America. Join us for this 100 mile tour back in time as we relive the good ol' days of the Mother Road. We'll stage in Downtown Kingman (a 30-minute drive from Laughlin) where a continental breakfast will be provided compliments of Cliff Findlay Auto Center. We'll depart Kingman on historic Route 66 and head east through the historic towns of Hackberry, Valentine, Truxton, Peach Springs and Seligman, home of Angel Delgadillo and the famous Snow Cap Drive-In. The tour will not make any stops on Route 66 due to limited parking until we reach Seligman. Here we will parade through town and display our Vettes on Route 66. Enjoy lunch in the park, compliments of Seligman Chamber of Commerce. At 1:00 pm, the tour will depart Seligman heading east on Route 66 to Interstate 40 where we will travel for 22-miles, ending in Williams, the last Route 66 town in America to be bypassed. Corvettes will take over Williams with another parade through town and a display right down the Mother Road. How about an old-fashion ice cream soda at one of the old Route 66 diners or shop for your favorite Route 66 souvenir? We'll see you in Flagstaff (a 30-minute drive) at our host hotel, Little America when you're through exploring Williams.
