For our last day, we did a few really touristy things, starting with a giant hole in the ground - Meteor Crater - where we did what any good pilots would do, watched the birds circle and discussed how we might launch from the rim and thermal up over the hole.
.....then drove back to Phoenix via Winslow, Arizona where I just couldn't resist standing on a corner ;-) They've made quite a corner here all from one silly song. I had to play the song for Jochen who didn't really understand why I felt the urge to stand on a corner in this sleepy little town.
Wow, I'll sure miss the giant saguaro cactus and firey sunsets here.

It's a pretty darn cool song, though! I did pretty much the same thing when I drove through LaGrange, Texas (looking for the shack outside LaGrange).
wow! Cracking sunset!
Hey now! Take it easy! It's not a silly song! :)
dammit-i can't even get a soul to go see jackson browne with me tonight here in rochester! :-(
Wild! And I know a couple by those very names. Okay, they were from a movie, but one has to wonder if Brian DePalma caught that reference at the time or did someone tell him that your characters are both from Arizona!
Or, also befitting the same movie, but a different song. "By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll by crying!" I don't think Winslow wrote that one, but it would have worked if he had! If anyone here is a Phantom of the Paradise phan, and also knows about creating you tube type vids, would you be willing to create a Winslow/Phoenix vid to that (GLEN CAMPBELL) song. Thanks.
