In reply to SoyBend.It is, indeed! I am glad Mr. Lightfoot saw the sign and made a note.

What a great name for a highway. Loved your pictures of the cactus – and lyrics by Lightfoot.

In reply to rulesoflogic.We are planning to be in Arizona again in 2024. We'll have to drive the highway again, with music this time.

Thank you so much John for this tribute and including the song. I also didn’t know that Gordon Lightfoot had died. We saw him many, many years ago at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles. He was also instrumental in boosting the careers of Ian and Sylvia. They were amazing but parted ways. Gordon Lightfoot was a great talent.

Thanks, JS. Of course, my wonderful wife and I used to live very close to Carefree Highway and drove on it most days. One of the local oldies radio stations plays Lightfoot’s song about the road quite often, not surprisingly.
