Winslow, AZ.
Drove into Winslow this morning. Went grocery shopping then to the Downtown area.
Visited The Standin on the Corner Park. The name is from the #1 hit,Take It Easy,sung by the Eagles in the early ‘70’s. The first line of the song is
“Well I’m runnin’ down the road tryin’ to loosen my load”
The second stanza continues
“Well I was standin’ on a corner in Winslow, Arizona,
Such a fine site to see,
It’s a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford, slowin’ down to take a look at me.
Etc.,etc. Look at the mural in the photo and you’ll see an eagle and the girl in the flatbed Ford.
We toured the Old Trails Museum. Very interesting. Items from the old Route 66, the Anasazi, the Santa Fe Railway, cowboy days, etc. After that we spent the morning at the McHood Park & Clear Creek Reservoir. Gopher had a good swim. Stopped by the Flying J to fill up with water and dump the tanks. Back to the Homolovi SP for the night.
