We took a quick detour off of I-40 at Winslow, AZ. We hoped to find some remnant from old Route 66 to eat lunch but didn't really. Winslow was a bit disappointing, I guess because of the Route 66 song, I thought maybe Winslow would be more 'touristy' or restored but nope, just a tired little town.Maggie

In Flagstaff, we turned south on I-17 then took Hwy 89A through Sedona on into Cottonwood. What a magnificent road, that Hwy 89A - VERY scenic but also VERY winding and kinda narrow for RV's. Absolutely beautiful scenery that was tampered a bit by Hannah who gets car sick during mountainous, curvey roads. We arrived at Dead Horse around 4:30 and so glad we came straight there since there were only 6-7 campsites still open out of 150!! We picked a good site, #55, paid our fees and set up camp ready to do some exploring of the area.Hwy 89A out of Flagstaff - heading south to Sedona

I'm glad you're letting me come along on this trip, Raymona. That part of the country is so beautiful and I fondly remember our last trip through--and I not so fondly remember other past trips with a carsick pup.
Lovely photos. I'm so glad you do this blog.
Hey Raymona...I can't hear the words "Winslow Arizona" without thinking this:
"Well, I'm a standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona and such a fine sight to see-
it's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford slowing down to take a look at me.
Come on, baby, don't say maybe. I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me."
LOL ... going to have that song in my head all day!!!
T - and now I will too, (LOL) but that's OK, I've been trying to think of the words since we went on the trip.
Okay - now I can officially say the song is playing in my head - over and over and over. Good thing it's a song I like. LOL
