I also thank you for being a dedicated follower of my blog. I agree about Cool Springs, it is a delightful place and I wouldn't think of driving by without spending some time there. So much history out there.

I was looking up Cool Springs Cabins because I just got back from a trip to Arizona and we stopped in there for a visit. Somebody mentioned that it must be a drab place for the shop keeper but I disagree. This guy has it made. It's a cute little shop that almost everybody that drives by stops into and talks to him. At closing time he locks the door and walks 20 feet to his RV that has an amazing view of the desert. I was totally jealous of him and that setup. I still dream of owning that little store.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13670793198549409827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342874076830001076.post-36985778346740273052013-12-17T16:04:51.657-08:002013-12-17T16:04:51.657-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342874076830001076.post-21971641616874124052013-07-30T18:20:36.009-07:002013-07-30T18:20:36.009-07:00This is cool!This is cool!Almahttp://bestmetaldetectorreviews.us/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342874076830001076.post-72190901160635494562013-05-28T12:47:54.303-07:002013-05-28T12:47:54.303-07:00Genie - Thanks Genie!

I have to agree with what you said and I feel very fortunate to be able to have this life. I hope you get to that item on your list. The whole thing is great, but I'm really partially to the portions in the Southwest. It was nice to get a cool drink there, but the most amazing thing about the place is the the owner's album collection. On the walls he has EVERY Rolling Stones album and they are all autographed and personalized to the owner.Pat Tilletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699973774273291205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342874076830001076.post-24523448859714357752013-05-27T19:11:11.953-07:002013-05-27T19:11:11.953-07:00Route 66 is on my bucket list of places to go/ tra...Route 66 is on my bucket list of places to go/ travel before I die!! <br /><br />Wow!
