Huh?

 

So, yes, yesterday's slide was a little tedious. Mundane Monday??

So, posting another Tedious Tuesday slide could be viewed as uniquely unfair on you, they loyal viewers of this blog.

As a result, today's slide is from the "Huh?" side of teh tracks.

Being cultured users of Google, I'm sure that you've worked out that this is the Inscription Rock from El Morro National Monument.

Welcome to New Mexico


"Land of Enchantment"

An intriguing slide. I suspect it was taken at the Texas / New Mexico border - in Glenrio, beside the "State Line Bar".
However, the metal plaque is curious. Sure, Glenrio was on Route 66, and R66 was Will Rogers Highway, but I couldn't find any mention of the plaque being in Glenrio. Other plaques look the same, so I have to conclude that the plaques were a common marketting ploy, or the the Glenrio one is migrating towards the sea.

Bonus - Will Rogers was quite a shap cookie, and was famed for his one-liners - eg "Lettin' the cat out of the bag is a lot easier than puttin' it back in."

Bonus - He's also the name behind the ever-interesting Will Rogers phenomenon, after is quip "When the Okies left Oklahoma and moved to California, they raised the average intelligence level in both states."
