Route 66

     Remember the TV show Route 66?  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Route_66_(TV_series)  One episode was filmed at the site of the Glen Canyon Dam in Arizona.  The dam was under construction at the time of filming.  Check out the full TV episode:

I can't believe how corny that show was - from the construction foreman inviting trouble making employees to pick up their check, to putting raw meat in fist fight injuries, to the wailing, hung over fashion model.
     There's not much left of Route 66 today.  We traveled on a short stretch of what remains of the road in Arizona.  The town of Ash Fork, AZ (they call the place the Flagstone Capital of the World) has a cute museum.  http://ashforkrt66museum.com/museum.html
We enjoyed the displays, chatted with the caretakers, and bought a baseball cap and some Zingers.  What are Zingers?  Check it out:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gRZraDJn64
     Ash Fork has Burma Shave signs.  I love those things.

 

    

     The only thing missing was the Corvette.
