This trip was all about taking time to explore. Entering Arizona from the east you start with all kinds of tourist traps, many still in business. These were designed with the kids in mind. Get them to bug the parents to stop. I mean what little kid riding in the back seat could resist this place. Dinosaurs munching on people, Free petrified wood and Ostriches.

HERE IT IS !!... Heh, the Jack Rabbit Trading post used to have signs all along route 66 telling you how far to the Jack Rabbit Trading post until you finally got there. Here I am riding the bigger then life Jack Rabbit. They really do a nice job here with finding and selling unusual merchandise for the Route 66 traveler.

Of course you must stop and see the tribute to the Eagles song and "Stand on a Corner in Winslow Arizona'. But there is also the Twin Arrows Trading Post and Two Guns and Diablo Canyon Arizona, oh and don't forget Wynona.
