Carefree highway. I remember now it was called that. I've never looked up why they call it that. That's something I'll do this morning.

I bet that was neat to watch. I always like it when I see them. I would never ride in one, though.

Okay there's a town called Carefree, AZ and one time Gordan Lightfoot was driving down the road and saw the sigh Carefree Highway, so he jotted down Carefree Highway on a piece of paper thinking it might be a good song title, which he did use for his song "Carefree Highway" 4 years later. I've been on it a few times and that song will come to mind when you're on it. I just can't ever remember a town called Carefree in Arizona.

I don't remember the song Carefree Highway, But I have personally stood on a corner in Winslow Arizona. We use to have a pickup camper Terry. Wife and I saw the whole lower 48 in it. Just a wonderful time. Enjoy!

I like taking pictures of the colourful balloons but I don’t want to be in one. Thanks for sharing the cool video Terry.

I've been at that exact spot, just before the shooting range, and watched one crash trying to land in a sudden breeze. Not me baby!

Albequerque NM (I know I spelled it wrong) just had the BIG balloon get-together. Hundreds of balloons took off. ╦╦C

I am aware of Gordy's song and how it came about. I heard his interview on the radio. Everytime I see the sign "Carefree Highway" the EARWORM starts! ╦╦C

Promised my daughters and granddaughters balloon rides. They are not cheap!

I now own THREE RVs! The bubble you've seen. I bought PeteyGirl's Hitchhiker and now this Lance 880. All the comforts of home except a recliner... gotta look for one that fits! ╦╦C

Are you aware there are TWO shooting ranges there... the one open to the public and a private one next to it? The private one is by invitation only. Many military snipers work out on the thousand yard line there. I will request usage soon. ╦╦C

Most of the fee goes toward insurance costs! (Just kidding, Sam) ╦╦C

Taking off and flying is simple enough, it’s the landing part.....

Funny how some songs come about. With the lyrics such as alligator lizards in the air while chew'n on a piece of grass.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventura_Highway#Background

Very nice video, Sis. Only problem is none of it is of the "Carefree Highway".... all of it paved across desert landscape. I'll get some pics for you and post them. ╦╦C

Sweet pics that would be a blast
