Deer friends

The Gateway to Sedona site in Arizona has posted an article about the Grand Canyon Deer Farm and Petting Zoo, which is on old Route 66 about 25 miles west of Flagstaff. The story has plenty of pictures of the deer, too. Everybody say, "Awwwwwwwww."

Mount Olive and Mother Jones

The Associated Content site has listed a "history detour" about Mount Olive, Ill., and its most famous resident, union activist Mother Jones. She is buried just off old Route 66 in the Union Miners Cemetery, and a monument also was erected there in her honor. The article also mentions the restored Soulsby Station on 66.
