The boys and I began our week long road trip to the scenic southwest today. It was a bit slow getting ready this morning since we have been on the go all weekend at the Long Beach Grand Prix. We did manage to get on the road by 9:00am, with all things considered was not too bad. We took our time on the drive, stoping several times along the way to do some Geocaching. The picture at right is just inside Sunset Crater National Monument. We tried to do a cache there, but the gate closed at 5:00pm, so we where turned away. Some of our more memorable caches we did today include Eight Cribs located in historic Williams, AZ and the Standin' on a corner cache located in Winslow, AZ. The Winslow cache was inspired by the Eagles song Take it Easy. There is a tribute on a corner in downtown Winslow right on historic Route 66 compete with a flatbed Ford truck and a bronze statue of the Eagles Don Henley. We also took advantage of our stop in Winslow to have a delicious Italian dinner at the only resturant open on a Monday night. From there we finished off the drive to our hotel in Holbrook, AZ. We eased our road weary muscles into the hot tub for a nice soak before turning in for the night.
