Stopover - A Corner

Time to discuss our second (of three) stopovers on our way to Flagstaff. After the Petrified Forest we went to Winslow, Arizona. Of course the specific location was a corner in Winslow, not just any corner but THE corner mentioned in the famous Eagle's song, "Take it Easy." We took a page from Sara's Aunt Renee's book and found the corner on Route 66. It wasn't hard to find since it's very clearly marked with a mural and statue and Eagles' songs ringing out onto the intersection.



We thought, "this is cheesy," but it was actually fun to take pictures on that corner. Sara actually danced on the corner in Winslow, AR no standing for her and they didn't run her out of town or anything. We heard a few rumors that there were other corners competing to be the actual corner mentioned in the song. We did not see those rival corners.
