Route 66 Twin Arrows

Since I was unable to camp at Walnut Canyon, I drove until I was out of what seemed to be the smoke zone. I thought I'd camp at the old Twin Arrows, and was happy so find a brand new casino across the street, where I was able to spend the night.

I can still see the smoke in the distance. It's headed this way in the photo, and when I woke up next morning, I could smell smoke.  When I drove back through a couple of days later, it was smoky here.

This is a friendly place to boondock. I called and asked and was told it was fine to camp in the parking lot if I was going to play. I spent maybe $60 playing the slots and having dinner. I had a good time, so it was worth it.  Be sure and sign up at the Customer Service area, because you get to spin a wheel and get $$$ free play.  I won $50 free play and spent several hours playing the penny slots on that free play.  FUN!

I had the buffet for dinner, and frankly, it wasn't worth the price. I've had MUCH better buffet meals at other casinos.  If I were to do it again, I'd stay here, but would either eat in the van or find food before arriving.

The REAL Twin Arrows

The above photo is all I could see of the REAL Twin Arrows in the dark.

Next morning I can see the smoke approaching

The Casino parking lot

I headed out early and stopped at a rest stop a few miles out of town to make coffee and wait for the sunrise.



Next stop, Winslow.

Love,
