Then we stumbled upon...

...Seligman, AZ.  This is a little town on historic Route 66, which has basically thrived on its obsolescence since the construction of Route 40.  As we drove through the town, Bill and I said simultaneously, "This looks like Radiator Springs."  (In case you aren't hip to one of Eleanor's passions, this is the town from the Pixar movie, "Cars.")  So, I used my so-called "tech phone" to google it.  And, lo and behold, Cars is actually loosely based on Seligman.  And, since the movie, the town has been a not-so-hot spot for tourists looking to get their kicks.
