A few good signs along the way

Grand Canyon Caverns (the only relation to the grand canyon is that they put smoke bombs in the caverns to see where the fresh air was coming from, they gave up looking for the red smoke after a week of not seeing it, and a week later the government gets a call from someone saying that there is red smoke pouring out into the grand canyon) The grand canyon is 62 miles as the crow flies away from the caverns
During the Cuban missile crisis, the caverns were a fall-out shelter and still have all of the rations inside
They also discovered some bones that turned out to be a brown sloth that is 6 million years old
I never knew Epcot was on the route!!

Mark and Rachel: We enjoyed meeting you at the Petrified Forest (and later the Jackrabbit!) ... We're back in Fort Worth and I'm starting to put together the story. If you still have my card, can you send me a quick e-mail? I forgot to ask you what you do for a living. (We like to put occupations in our stories.) Great pix on the blog. In Winslow, we had dinner at a delicious little Mexican food place along 66 called the Brown Mug. Talk to you soon.
