The Kingman (Ariz.) Daily Miner caught up with Detlev Henschel and his wife Katrin Frommhold as they trudge across North America on wagon trails and the oldest roads they can find, including Route 66.
Detlev explained that he wanted to show the “good news” about America – one removed from world politics and the biggest cities and focused instead on the smaller towns, natural beauty, history and everyday kind of people that help make this country the great place it is.
When asked about his thoughts regarding the Kingman area, he said the area was “beautiful – the people (are beautiful) as well. One place in particular that stood out in his mind was the Cool Springs store located along old Route 66 at the base of the Black Mountains near Oatman. He said they’d had a pleasant stop there with the owner.
