Route 66! Lucky you!
Do you guys pull these from drive cams? Im considering one as a Christmas gift to myself. Also where do you mount them and if up high on the windshield how do you get power to them. Also is it easy to pull images off them?

Williams AZ Loves Friday November 28th 2019. Took 4 hours to get from Winslow to Williams after ADOT reopened I40. They closed it again about 4PM because of a wreck at mm 113.
Saturday morning trying to leave Williams AZ Loves. What a mess that was! I40 was still a mess because of wrecks. Took Route 66 from mm 123 (Seligman AZ) to Kingman. First 20 or so miles were a little sketchy but opened up to dry pavement all the way.
