'19/#11 Rock And Roll Culture And A Hole iIn The Ground

Albuquerque in the rear view mirror and on to Arizona. Our next overnight stay is Meteor Crater RV park but along the way we have to pass Winslow AZ. The song "Take Easy" by the Eagles has made this little town a tourist stop and we are tourists so.... A little turn off of the interstate and we are again on historic Rt 66. This time we are in downtown Winslow Arizona. We were able to park the rig on the street just a block from the "Standing On The Corner" landmark. Lots of touristy pictures and post cards and  a couple of tee shirts and we were again on our way.

Not too far down the road we arrived at Meteor Crater RV Park, our destination for the night. After checking in we called  the crater operations and found out that the hiking tours along the crater's rim were cancelled due to high winds. We opted to just check out the museum and observation platforms. The hike along the rim would have been cool but it just wasn't in the cards this time. The crater itself was impressive. Big enough to hold 20 football games simultaneously and have 2 million people watching in the stands! It is the first confirmed meteor crater and the best preserved in the world. Make you feel kind of small standing next to it.

Not much more to say here but tomorrow is another day. So until the next blog goodbye from our home at the edge of the crater because....

Home is where we park it,
