Monday was at treasure hunting and sightseeing day in Winslow, Arizona.
Our first cache was near a tribute to the bygone days when rail travel was the way to travel across country.From the rail cars we walked a few blocks to downtown Winslow. Route 66 used to pass through town, also. Another cache involved the sculpture at the main intersection. Some of you may remember the Eagles' song referencing Winslow.
From the 'corner' we walked to historical La Posada Hotel. It was a major stop for rail travelers of yesteryear.We walked through the building to the courtyard facing the rail tracks. Another cache was 'located' in this area. We had to take a picture to prove we had been at La Posada.
DeAnna and I decided to try the old rocking chairs which faced the tracks. DeAnna thought hers was going to tip over since it did not have smooth rockers.
From La Posada we wandered back to the car and on to the next cache. It was a the local 9/11 Memorial. The beams are from the World Trade Center and the flag (not pictured) flew over the Pentagon.
Our next stop was Wal-Mart to pick up a few supplies and then it was back to the rv. Chris and DeAnna enjoyed playing in the dirt outside the rv--making volcanoes and cooking.
Bobby and Cathy left El Paso and are expected on Tuesday.
