Blowin' in the Wind

Big winds and blowing dust have closed parts of the I40 so we are stuck here at Root 66 (not really getting our kicks I might add).  We were disappointed since our next stop was Canyon De Chelly.

So off we went to see what the little town of Holbrook had to offer.  The Lonely Planet Book didn't even give it a nod but we found a full day of fun and interesting things to do. Great museum, some fun Route 66 (the road) stuff and old historic buildings.  So here are some photos from our not so disappointing day....

 The Courthouse Museum and County Jail









The above photos were all taken inside the jail.  It was cold and creepy and I felt like an animal in a cage. It is no wonder that so many committed suicide inside this awful place.  Many drawings and writings from the prisoners on the walls.


 Really? Maybe I would just take my chances.....



The Civil Defense sign was under this sign post.  Do the people of Holbrook know something the rest of us don't?
