There was a time when the best bathrooms in the Navajo Nation were at the Hubbell Trading Post. That is no longer the case. Canyon de Chelly revamped their bathrooms a few years ago, and now they’re the best!
My absolute favorite Beverly Hillbillies episode was when when Grannie went out into the city park looking for crawdads. A hippie emcampment asked her what she was going to do with them. She replied “I’ll smoke them.” One hippie replied, “Oh wow, I never tried that before.”
Went I went to Arkansas to camp in the woods for the total eclipse (it was great!), there were fireflies, which I hadn’t seen since I was a kid in Wisconsin. When the first one came out and clung to a tree, I went right up to it and went OMG! Then others started coming out. It was magical.
That was before my time. I remember Captain Kangaroo and Colgate toothpaste. I loved the Flintstones as a kid, but in recent years I rented it and it didn’t hold up. You just can’t beat the original Honeymooners.
If you take the train from Anchorage to Fairbanks, you can see in the distance the “Dr. Suess House” which is even a more extraordinary structure.
