The
Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers
"Standing On The Corner in Winslow, AZ"
on Route 66
October 4, 2022

U.S. Route 66 was originally
routed through the city of Winslow, Arizona. A contract to build Interstate
40 as a bypass north of Winslow was awarded at the end of 1977. I-40
replaced U.S. Route 66 in Arizona in its entirety. However, Winslow
and many other cities that the two RV Gypsies have been in, still have
Route 66 signs everywhere, and there are still parts of the original
Route 66 in several places. |

Winslow is a city in Navajo
County, Arizona. It is approximately 57 miles southeast of Flagstaff,
240 miles west of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and 329 miles southeast of
Las Vegas. |

Winslow was named for Edward F. Winslow, President
of the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad, which owned half of the
old Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, OR maybe it was named for Tom Winslow,
a prospector who lived in the area.

Winslow achieved national fame in 1972 in the Eagles
/ Jackson Browne song “Take It Easy” which has the line “standing
on a corner in Winslow, Arizona." --- Also, notice the cool
stuff in the windows of the building. |
