Re: Attn all loopers: Cross country looping

Ah, Syracuse!  Spent '77-79 up there.

In 1984 on the way out to LA, I was rushed to make it in due time, but 
found
a few gems along the way.

Way out on the 40, in Oklahoma, there's a coffee shop and gas station 
that's
on a naked crossroads just south of Muskogee.  That's right folks, as in
"Okie From Muskogee".  The crossroads is classic four-directions-to-nowhere
kind of imagery; and the jukebox has ONLY Merle Haggard songs on it.

Also, try to schedule your drive so that you get to the Painted Desert just
before sunset.  This is of course in Arizona, a bit short of Flagstaff and
the mountains.  (While I scheduled my trip in '84 this way, it was
raining/snowing, alas).
