Standing On A Corner...

We had an engine light come on in the truck on the drive back from Sedona.  Took the truck to have the error code checked and learned a thermostat was stuck open.  The Flagstaff Ford dealer couldn't fit us in before we were leaving so we decided to wait until we got to Holbrook, which was our next planned stop.

We stayed at the OK RV Park...typical desert landscape, long, level sites and good cable.  Jack took the truck in to the local Ford dealer and had a new thermostat put in. Since we were tired, we decided to spend a few days just relaxing.  Tried a few restaurants...Romo's is a Mexican place and every dish on the menu came with either red or green chili on it.  Jack liked it, I didn't.  We also tried Mesa Italiana...food was only mediocre but the prices rivaled a large city restaurant.  We ate at home after that!

Holbrook is not very far from Winslow. We couldn't pass up an opportunity to go down Route 66 and visit Winslow...which acheived fame in the Eagles' song Take It Easy.
For our grandchildren, who are not likely familiar with the song, the part about Winslow goes like this:

Well, I'm a standin' on a corner

In Winslow, Arizona

Such a fine sight to see

It's a girl my Lord

in a flat-bed Ford

Slowin' down to take a look at me

Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
Drive you crazy

Winslow is much smaller than I envisioned, there's very little there and what is there is not particularly pretty...but it has a corner and we stood on it. There's even a flatbed Ford parked on the corner!

We also met a nice couple from New Zealand touring the United States in their 1957 Mercedes-Benz 220S Ponton...they were nice enough to let me take some photos of their car.



Oh...I now have a "Standin' on the Corner" coozie.
