A severe storm in early September damaged the restored Cool Springs Camp on Oatman Road, aka Route 66, between Kingman and Oatman, Ariz.
Cool Springs owner Ned Leuchtner said the storm ripped off part of the roof and dumped about two inches of rain on parts of the store’s interior. Fortunately, he said, the artifacts were not damaged.
Cool Springs won’t have regular hours until further notice, while repairs are being done.
However, Leuchtner said Cool Springs will be open by appointment if you e-mail coolsprings(at)gotsky.com and let the manager know you’re coming by. “We remain committed to supporting the hobbyists on Route 66,” he said.
