POST #66

We were planning to stay at Fool Hollow State Park until April 9th.  We had a wonderful Campsite on the lake at an altitude of about 6300 feet...

It was chilly (60s) and windy there each day we were there.  We always watch what the weather is going to be and found, to our dismay SNOW😲 was expected with temps into the 20s.  So we decided to escape, cancelled our remaining reservation, and moved on.  We drove to Homolovi State Park, at an elevation of 4850 to avoid snow...a short drive of about 83 miles...

At Holbrook, AZ we got onto I-40, which follows the path of old US Route 66, sometimes known as the "The Mother Road" or "The Main Street  Of America"... Hey!  Post #66---Route 66!  As we were driving through Holbrook we noticed several places selling petrified wood...

Everything from chips to full logs....

The Petrified Forest National Park is just east of Holbrook...

The Petrified Wood for sale was collected in the areas surrounding the park....

Also in Holbrook we passed the Wigwam Motel...

The motel is arranged as a square, with 15 concrete and steel wigwams on three sides and the main office on the fourth, flanked by two smaller sized wigwams; there was also originally a gas station on the complex. The individual units are called "wigwams," not "rooms" or "tepees" or "cabins." The base diameter is 14 feet, with each unit 32 feet in height. Behind the main room of each unit is a small bathroom with sink, toilet and shower. Current rooms contain the original restored hickory furniture, two double beds, cable TV and a window-mounted air conditioner. In keeping with the authenticity of the restoration, there are no telephones, Internet access or ice machine. Vintage restored automobiles from the 1960s and earlier are located throughout the parking area. Small green metal benches etched with the words "Wigwam Village #6" are scattered throughout the complex as well.

We then merged onto I-40 (Route 66) and headed west to our campsite at Homolovi State Park...

The Campground is just a couple miles NE of Winslow, AZ.  Winslow?  Isn't that where....

Yup!! we visited again!

Pootzie parked behind the famous Flatbed Ford....

We made this video last time we were here...silly but fun!...

There is a lot to explore here at Homovoli Park!  We are here until at least April 15th, waiting for the weather at home to warm up before we proceed north. 

Watch for more on Homolovi later!

Until Next Time!
