On The Mother Road to Twin Arrows and Two Guns, Arizona

25 April 2010

Another casualty of Route 66, I don’t think Twin Arrows is a town so much as it’s a roadside attraction.  At one time it was a gas station with a diner that just so happened to have two huge arrows protruding up from the parking lot.  Another similar arrow can be seen at the corner of Carlisle and Indian School here in Albuquerque.

Two Guns

I don’t believe this KOA camp ground is actually part of Two Guns but it just so happens to be right behind it.


Two more days on the road – driving home from Vegas

This blog entry is a little late but, you know, better late than never right?  These photos were taken during our drive back from Las Vegas in February.

Hoover Dam chipmunks.  I had no idea that hundreds of chipmunks inhabit Hoover Dam.  They hang out in this driveway where the staff parks and people feed them.  I wished I had brought my real camera out of the car because the mini-cam focuses so slow that it is practically impossible to get any sharp photos of a high octane chipmunk.  While most of my shots were of the sidewalk after the chipmunk was long gone, I did get a couple of lucky shots.
