Turn north on 62 and go through Twentynine Palms. You'll have to climb the big 1200-ft grade into Morongo Valley, so be sure your cooling system is up to the job, but take it slow and watch the gauges and you should be fine. Cross the Colorado at Parker and pick up 72 which takes you 60 and the Arizona destination of your choice. Take a bedroll and lay out under the stars for a bit. We've got a Santa Ana tonight and it should be pretty warm and clear. Sure, you'll be lonely up there on those desert two-lanes, and it'll take you a lot longer than cruising at 80 in an a/c-equipped plastic egg with the rest of the herd, but you said you wanted to go back in time...
Sounds like a plan... now only if my motor was hitting on all 6! lol I'd take the chance!
Maybe next year!
