words from Swiz
Anyone that knows me knows I love 70's and 80's music. And the Eagles are easily a top 10 band for me--- so this virtual cache was pure necessity.
After leaving Kingman, Az, we spent a few hours at the Grand Canyon. From there, one of Mac's "Must Do"s was to cache along Route 66. She studied the maps and found a way cool traditional that had some great history into the building of Route 66. Take a look at HistoricAZ66: Cinders (GC3Z5FA). Terrain was a bit different than what we are use to-- but hey, go where the arrow points you. Mac made the quick find and spotted the red cinders mentioned in the cache page. It really is an interesting read of how they used local materials to make a lasting road -- and to see parts on the road that were put down as early as the 1920s.
Now, it was time to head to Winslow. We rolled in and found a few folks taking pictures. It was our turn soon and we had a ball. We gathered the important info for the virtual, all while singing along with the loud speakers playing The Eagles. Quick trip into the cute store across the street for a few souvenirs and we were done---- or at least we thought we were.
As we drove back to the interstate, we spotted a painted rock. It was Captain America .... So you know we had to get a picture.
Another fine day of exploration.... Off to the next.
