The
two RV Gypsies on
Route 66 in Winslow, AZ
October 4, 2022 |
U.S. Route 66 was originally
routed through the city of Winslow, Arizona. A contract to build Interstate
40 as a bypass north of Winslow was awarded at the end of 1977. I-40
replaced U.S. Route 66 in Arizona in its entirety. However, Winslow
and many other cities the two RV Gypsies have been in still have Route
66 signs everywhere, and there are still parts of the original Route
66 in several places. |

Winslow is a city in Navajo
County, Arizona. It is approximately 57 miles southeast of Flagstaff,
240 miles west of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and 329 miles southeast of
Las Vegas. |

Winslow was named for either Edward F. Winslow, president
of St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad, which owned half of the old
Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, or Tom Winslow, a prospector who lived
in the area.

RV Gypsies, Karen and Lee Duquette, Standing on the Corner
by the sign and with the mural in the road. Winslow achieved national
fame in 1972 in the Eagles / Jackson Browne song “Take It Easy”
which has the line “standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona."
--- Also, notice the cool stuff in the windows of the building |

"wanted" - Did he stand on the corner too long????? Karen
Duquette became an angel and bailed Lee out of trouble. |
