Route 66 2013: Sun City, AZ to Holbrook, AZ

After watching one last sunset in Sun City, AZ and a restless night of sleep, Maureen and I launch HMS Buick on a brilliant Sunday afternoon. It’s a few hours north to Flagstaff, where we coax the lumbering sedan eastward. A few abandoned bridges later we roll into Winslow, Arizona, a desolate town made famous by the Eagle’s hit “Take It Easy.” There is a park on the corner, and just so you don’t forget, the gift shop across the street endlessly plays the song. There is a brilliant desert sunset in the rearview mirror as we cruise up Hopi Dr. into Holbrook, AZ for a night in The WigWam Motel. Burritos and sopapillas for supper, and early to bed, for tomorrow will be New Mexico.
