# Williams - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/williams/ - Published: 2016-08-05T15:13:00-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout It is the last town bypassed by Interstate 40, a relic of the old Route 66. A place of steam engine trains, cowboys and handle bar mustaches. A city seemingly stuck in an era of yesteryear, and not wanting or needing to change a thing.   Welcome to [Williams](http://experiencewilliams.com/).[](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/60e7f-usti6561.jpg?ssl=1) Neon antiques litter the main street, along with vintage cars and Harley bikes. In the emptiness and quiet of morning, I walk along the train tracks with a owner less dog, together we try to get a feel for this town.   Smokey the bear greets us and a flood of childhood memories cause my eyes to well up in tears.[](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/d3b01-2016-06-192b08-55-43.jpg?ssl=1) I try to explain to Cbug and crazylegs the history of the West as we walk together in the Arizona evening, but my attempt at a history lesson is lost in youthful boredom. [](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/23610-hdre9248.jpg?ssl=1) That’s OK though, as I like to think the memories and conversations will stick with them subconsciously. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/williams/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Williams&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fwilliams%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/williams/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/williams/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/williams/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/williams/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
