On the road to the Route 66 JDM Classic Car Show in Williams AZ
An 8 day scenic route drive in the 69 S2000 conversion roadster.

Day 1. Friday Sept 24. Bellevue WA to Biggs OR. 379 miles.
A drive on my favorite roads in the Horse Heaven Hills,
to east of Goldendale, on the north side of the Columbia River.
Over 200 miles of excellent back roads.

Day 5. Tuesday. 9-28-21. Ely NV to Panguitch UT. 299 miles.
Some morning haze obscured the far views but the sky cleared in the afternoon.
Visited the Great Basin NP and drove to the Mt Wheeler basin at around 10,000 ft.
Drove East from Cedar City to the Cedar Breaks NM. at over 10,000'. Light was nice for afternoon photos.

Day 6. Wednesday. 9-29-21. Panguitch Ut to Bryce Canyon NP to Panguitch. 90 miles.
Bryce Canyon NP tour today. Cloudy cold am but sunny by afternoon.
Park was pleasantly accessible. Not too crowded and plenty of parking at the vista points.
Dozens of the usual Datsun memory stories from guys at the view points.
A bit of rain last night but weather looks back to being excellent for the rest of the trip.
But supposed to be 23F!! on Thursday morning.
