Off to visit our relatives in Flagstaff for a week. Always fun to go there this time of year. Route 66 goes right thru there, and there always seems to be a lot of rods traveling thru. This year we get to do a road trip to Gallup NM. Anyone who knows of automotive or motorcycle attractions, please chime in!
Love northern Arizona. Since your in Flagstaff, you need to take a drive over to Williams, which is about an hour west. Another cool Route 66 town, with tons of shops and memorabilia. In the summer, there are several car shows in Williams. Also, you can take the Grand Canyon train, for a 60 miles train ride to the rim of the canyon.
Mike this year I think the relatives are planning eastern trips! I have been to Williams before though. Nice area no matter which way you go, and thankyou for the advice. I'll see if I can sway them that way again! I think we will be passing through Winslow on the way to Gallup, though. I'd love to do the train tour, just have to convince wife to go!
East from Flagstaff------Great Meteor Crater about 25 miles east of Flagstaff---New Mexico--VLA--Very Large Array-a system of 27 radio telescopes that they can spread out on 3 leg tracks that are 11,9 & 9 miles long--just south of US60 near where 52 crosses it---south east of Gallup area
4 sure do Winslow.
"Standin on the corner in Winslow AZ""Stopped ther 4 about 1 1/2 hrs last year on the Great Greybeard Adventure" on the trip out to LARS.
The buger joint just west of the corner across the street has great burgers and the ole gal who runs it is a hoot.

In Flaggstaff. Love Windslow, have been on the corner and will be again if weather permits. The meteor crater was well worth the visit last year, and Another great trip was to the Lowell Observatory. We got a behind scenes tour of stuff, including a look at the cad drawings for a new telescope. This area is very neat for exploration. They say a big snow storm is heading this way this weekend, which may ground us here for a while. Thanks for all the great ideas!
Well,mine isnt a flatbed,but its another good reason to try and get up there...:D:DQuote:

I think Jackson Browne actually wrote the song, but the Eagles did make it famous!
Steve,
We're in Mesa for another week, heading back to Kansas next weekend. Did the Scottsdale Goodguys last Saturday, but no other car stuff. Looks like we'll get a little rain here with snow in the higher elevations.
Big snow over the last 40 hours, around 53" on the mountain, at least 2-3 feet here! Not sure what we are doing today(head home tommorrow), but the wife is up early to go skiing. I'm more into taking it easy!
