Just some good old boys, never meaning no harm. But cousins Bo and Luke Duke certainly have a way of finding trouble with the law everywhere they turn. Their adventures as the Robin Hoods of their rural community of Hazzard County lead them to wild escapes, aided by their souped-up Dodge CHARGER called the General Lee. The boys' nemesis is Boss Hogg, a corrupt politician who constantly sicks his minion, Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane, on the Dukes.

ON THE ROAD

CLINES CORNERS.COM

 Roy E. Cline had an idea, give road weary travelers a place to stop, shop and eat. In 1934, his vision came to life with the opening of a filling station and café at the intersection of New Mexico State Highways 6 and 2. This placed his new business in between Moriarty and Santa Rosa New Mexico.

At that time Route 66 had a totally different alignment: it ran north towards Las Vegas and Santa Fe, in a wide arch between Santa Rosa and Albuquerque. But due to New Mexico politics, Route 66 would have a new, shorter path, bypassing the state capital. The sixty-nine miles of new road named New Mexico State Highway 6 would shave ninety miles off of Route 66. This new road was the opportunity that Roy needed.

In 1937, AASHO approved the Santa Rosa Cutoff that shortened Route 66. New Mexico Highway 6 moved slightly north and was renamed Route 66/U.S. 285. This posed a problem for Roy Cline and he would have to move the gas station and restaurant to the new Route 66. He purchased the land northwest of the intersecting Highway and convinced map makers to place Clines Corners on the map. Today, eighty-three years later, travelers can find Clines Corners in the same spot that Roy Cline purchased in 1937.

We'll take a road trip this round.

CRAZY CREEK

2017 Wyoming

UPDATE

I didn't realize so many would be curious about the origin of the name!!

There are many legends about the 'Crazy Woman.' One says it was named for an Indian woman, left to live alone in her teepee here, who went insane. The more common story told is the violent and tragic tale of the settler who witnessed the capture and scalping of her husband by Indians, which drove her to insanity.

Crazy Woman Canyon served as a passageway Native Indians. It was a pass up into the Big Horn Mountains. It was a perfect staging area for war parties during the Plains Indian Wars. It was even used and a hideout and getaway by Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid as well as other outlaws in the late 1800’s.

The most known legend is the story of the Morgan family. The family was traveling via covered wagon when they were attacked by Sioux warriors. Three children and their fathered were killed, but Mrs. Morgan survived the attack. After witnesses the horrors, though, she lost her mind. She stole an axe from a warrior and attacked, killing four as the Sioux fled.

Soon after, a mountain man named Johnson came upon the bloody scene. He buried the husband and children, and tried to get Mrs. Johnson to leave. She refused, and he built her a small cabin. Eventually, he found her frozen body, dead from starvation. Locals knew about her presence near the stream, and dubbed it Crazy Woman Creek.
