Remember the Eagles song “Take it Easy” where he sings…
Well, I’m a standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona,
And such a fine sight to see
It’s a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford
Slowin” down to take a look at me.
Since we stayed in Winslow, Arizona, we had to go down to stand on the corner.
Next stop was Albuquerque, New Mexico. We went down to Old Town and walked through a few shops.
Since we were hungry, we stopped at the Church Street Cafe for some Mexican food. The girls will always remember the belligerent, gay, homeless guy who was trying to get into the restaurant and was detained by the police. The things that stick in their memories. Too bad I didn’t think to get a photo of him.
We had time for one last adventure. We took the Sandia Peak Tramway up to the top of the mountain outside of Albuquerque. We’ve been stretching Tess’s tolerance for adventure, and this just about hit her limit. But she came through to conquer her fears and actually came to enjoy it.
We stayed at Enchanted Trails RV Park. Since it’s on historic Route 66, it got right into the theme with a collection of old RV’s.
I took Katie and the girls to the airport so they could fly home. I returned to the campground to clean out my RV and wash some clothes. Next begins my trip home. I’ve been checking how many miles away home is. Currently it’s 1,835 miles.
