Williams, AZ

On the way to Williams, we stopped at Walnut Canyon for a quick break. Saw a truck and popup from Virginia with "California or Bust" on their back window. Never did find them to say "HI". The Indians built their homes down in the lower portion of these cliffs. They cleared out the softer rock, built new fronts and put partitions in the space for homes for different families. No windows---and no way to vent the smoke so the rooms were black from the smoke. Not my favorite place to abide.
This was a very interesting pattern on display in the gift shop at the restaurant where we had lunch.
Isn't this a lovely quilt! I would like to try this pattern at home.
We had lunch at the Pine Country Restaurant. This was the display by the table where we had a great late lunch.
This fellow called us into his establishment where we each got a walking stick. We have hopes of big hikes in our future. Let's hope we don't trip on the darn things. Ron's stick even has a compass, if we can figure out how to use it.
Can you see this little lady hanging out of the window? She is beckening folks to come and stay in her hotel. Ron said he saw a tattoo on her upper chest missing someone named B.C. Know anyone with those initials who loves Williams, AZ?
This is the street sign for Route 66 in Williams, AZ, a town that still embraces all that is Route 66.
You can get tee shirts and all sorts of collectibles with the Route 66 logo.
A Route 66 diner complete with some old beauties.
Route 66 is everywhere in this little town.
There was a car show today in Williams. Unfortunately, we got in as they were all leaving but we did follow this beauty. The Happy Travelers will be traveling to the Grand Canyon on Saturday. More later.
