Standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona....

Winslow is a genuine old west town with a lot of history.  But most people know the name of the town because of the Eagles song Take it Easy.  The song paints a pretty vivid picture as Glenn Fry sings about a girl in a flat-bed Ford slowing down to take a look at him.  The city has capitalized on this little diddy and put together a pretty impressive tourist attraction.

Look closely at the wall, that's a reflection in the store window of a girl in a flat-bed Ford slowing down to take a look at me

Cyndee and I shamelessly did the tourist thing and snapped photos of each other standing on the corner in Winslow, AZ.

Part of today was also dedicated to getting prepped for the move to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.  Since trips to buy food are going to be widely spaced because of the 170 mile round trip to the nearest grocery store we are trying to stock up on the things we can.  When inventorying what was in the freezer we discovered that we were in dire need of a defrosting.  Ice had built up enough that it was consuming space that could be better used to hold some meat or ice cream, yeahhh, ice cream.  So three hours and about a gallon of sponged up ice melt later we had room to lay in some supplies.

The trip to Winslow was not just for being tourists.  Winslow has a Walmart Supercenter and we took advantage of having access to a lot of the brands we like.  Just as we walked in the door they were taking chickens out of the rotisserie, they smelled really good and it was a no-brainer what we were going to have for supper.  We got a lot of things but we will still have to make a run to Sam's Club in Flagstaff for a number of bulk, frozen items.  We have a small cooler and two of those large thermal bags.  Our plan is to get some dry ice and fill all three containers with as much chicken breasts, tilapia and frozen vegetables as we can and hope we get it to the freezer waiting for us at the North Rim before it thaws.

Back at the camper and with everything put away, we decided to grill some vegetable to go with our rotisserie chicken.  While outside grilling it became apparent that the uncomfortably hot day had become a gorgeous evening so we set the outdoor table and had supper al fresco.

As we were sitting at the picnic table we were faced east.  At some point Cyndee looked around and amid the hush of the desert she leaned over and whispered; "Look over your shoulder".  I turned and it was a flood of light and color.  The Arizona desert was putting on a sunset that you could not look away from.

Can the Arizona desert put on a sunset or what?

Tomorrow, if the weather cooperates, we will go to meteor crater and fork over $16 a person to look at a big hole in the ground.
