Cruise to Hackberry on 66

Each year on the Route 66 Fun Run we are unable to stop at Hackberry General Store because the Starliner is too low ad the store is too crowded with no level parking available. So last Sunday, was a nice sunny day and we had just traded in 4 vehicles for a new F-250 Ford diesel truck and a Lincoln MKX SUV Crossover and decided to take the MKX out for a cruise.

We traveled over Hackberry Rd (15 miles of dirt) from I 40 to Route 66 then west to Hackberry General Store that is a step back in item. We were the only visitors so we Had a chance to visit with the owner and his dog who talks to you when prompted.

The store is full of memorabilia, photos, antiques, and lots of stuff. The owners corvette is parked in front with other old cars, trucks and equipment scattered around the old buildings. The garage in back has old engines, test equipment, parts books, old tools, jacks and other items (too many to list).

There is a picnic area next to a fish pond, tree swing and benches under shade trees. We enjoyed the visit and wandered around the old stuff. So if you are in Kingman Area plan a stop at Hackberry. That is also accessible from Kingman or Seligman on Route 66 hwy. There is also some information youtube.
