Road Trip: Winslow Az

More from our Thursday road trip. Winslow Az. if you’re a boomer or like 1970’s rock music, you likely thought of the lyrics to “Take it easy” by the Eagles when you saw the town name. “Standin on a corner in Winslow, Arizona …”. You’re in good company, there is a park by this name in Winslow.

Our destination in Winslow was the La Posada hotel, which includes the Turquoise Room restaurant. This is one of the best restaurants in Arizona, and we went there for lunch. The hotel was a Harvey House railroad hotel which has been restored. The railroad track is just behind the hotel.

Heat Wave Coming

We have forecasts for extreme hot weather over the next few days. OK. This is Arizona. It’s hot here. If you’re a newcomer, I assume you knew this before you moved. I’ve been in Az for 39 years, so I expect this. Our dogs get their daily walk nice and early.

Our evaporative cooler was repaired and is working well. If it doesn’t handle 103 degrees, we’ll turn on the a/c. We’ll be fine.

Summer starts with the summer solstice in Prescott, Az on
Monday, June 20, 2016 at 3:34 PM MST for those who are interested in astronomical precision.

And here’s the Prescott Daily Courier drumming up some fear: http://www.dcourier.com/news/2016/jun/18/100-coming-soon-dont-worry-isnt-it-dry-heat/

Phoenix is expecting 117 degrees. That is downright evil. I remember the day it hit 122 in Phoenix, unfortunately I lived there at the time.
