Eagles Take It Easy Lyrics
from album: Eagles (1972)
Well, I'm running down the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that wanna own me
Two that wanna stone me
One says she's a friend of mine
Take it easy
Take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
Drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy
Well, I'm a standing on a corner
In Winslow, Arizona
And such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my lord
In a flatbed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on, baby
Don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love
Is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win
Though we will never be here again
So open up, I'm climbin' in
And take it easy
Well I'm running down the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover
Who won't blow my cover
She's so hard to find
Take it easy
Take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
Make you crazy
Come on baby
Don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love
Is gonna save me
Oh oh oh
Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy

Twin Arrows is awesome. My dad actually used to deliver pastries and things here. So sad to see it all gone.
So fun seeing you Standing on the corner in Winslow Arizona: )
I was born and raised in Holbrook (Hole-brook)
Cars the movie was actually based on the town of Holbrook. The writers stopped to eat at Joe & Aggie's and this is where they wrote the idea for the movie Cars. If you notice, most of the scenes in the movie look just like places in Holbrook, the signs in town, the buildings, even the condition of the roads. In Joe & Aggie's, they also have pieces of the script and information sketched about the movie on the wall from the writers.
This was a great review of Arizona Route 66 though! I shared it with my class. Excellent pictures and commentary. I learned a few things I didn't know, so thank you!

My family and I drove from Erie, Pennsylvania to Phoenix, Arizona in 1955 and again in 1956 and saw many neat attractions on 66, I also loved the Berma Shave Signs. It was a boring trip for an 11 year old because it took us 5 days to get to and from and there wasn t a hell of a lot to do to keep me occupied. When I got back to school my teacher had the class write a theme about what we did that summer. I wrote about our trip. She called me up to her desk and told me that I had a very active mind because she didn t believe that we had actually taken this trip. The next day I brought in a bunch of pictures we had taken in order to convince her that I wasn t lying. She then had me go to a couple other classes to tell of my trip and the sights I saw.

Route
First time I traveled the full length of Rt 66 was in 1952 in a blue 1951 Henry J. Dad was in the Air Force and we were stationed in Mich. when he got orders for Korea so we hit the end in Ill. and went all the way to the end. He had 30 days to make it to Travis AFB Cali. so we took our time and went everywhere along the route. I was 7 at the time.
I now live in Kingman AZ, matter of fact if you had stood in the parking lot and looked north up Grandview Ave. you could have almost have seen my house. We stayed in some of the motels you saw along your trip. Those were indeed fun times of my life.

Your attention to each location is superb. Did 66 last year and never can see everything.
From Ohio it would take months. But you hit the really fun section for my tastes.
Texas deserves a trip byvyou guys please!
You'dcdo Texas Proud. They did right by 66.
Be careful in some places. I had just odered my food when I realized every Mexican was uncomfortable with me being there.
One older gentlemen in particular.
Know some pleasantries in Spanish, smile, compliment the food. Dont look like a victum.

Thank you for an excellent tour. I've been on the Route from Chicago to Flagstaff. I loved spending the night at the Blue Swallow in Tucumcari and El Rancho in Gallup. Also, on a detour on the way to Albuquerque, had lunch in Madrid, NM, if anyone remembers the movie Wild Hogs. We never made it west past Flagstaff as we went North to the Grand Canyon there. It's such an experience that all 66'ers should do it at least once in a life time. I rode my motorcycle in those days. Next time will be by car.

In 1970 we begged our parents to stop at Ft Courage. We loved the old F Troop tv show. Honestly we were all a bit disappointed with it but still hate to see just sitting there rotting away. I don t see any historical need for it since it was built on the I-40 portion so I would just like the to see the landscape restored. I have really enjoyed your tour of Route 66 and am on my second go around watching the entire series.

Awesome video! I just wanted to say that although I really enjoy the sights in this video, I enjoy the father-son relationship even more.
It's not the fancy thing you saw that's important, it's whom you saw it with and seeing their reaction to it that matters. That's what you'll remember later in life. You can tell from your dad's reactions that he understands this very well.
Keep on truckin'!

Williams and Flagstaff are 2 of my favorite stops in AZ. Flagstaff is a great summer getaway from the blast furnace that's summer in Las Vegas. One nice little off the beaten path detour for anyone taking Hwy. 93 between Vegas and Kingman is the old mining town of Chloride, AZ. It's about 20 miles north of Kingman and its known for the rock murals just outside of town.
