Hey folks, Big Mike here, and I’m gonna let you in on a little secret about Route 66 in Arizona: Houck. Now, it might not be the biggest or the flashiest town on the Mother Road, but trust me, it’s got a story to tell.

Back in its heyday, Houck was a bustling stop for travelers and traders. It all started with a humble trading post, then the railroad came through, and boom – Houck was on the map! Folks were passing through, stocking up on supplies, sharing stories, and experiencing that classic Route 66 spirit.

And speaking of spirit, let me tell you about Fort Courage. This place was something else! They built it to look just like the fort from that old “F Troop” TV show, and it was a real hit with travelers. You could grab a bite to eat, find some unique souvenirs, and even spend the night. It was like stepping back in time to the Wild West!

Sadly, Fort Courage has seen better days. Time, and a bit of bad luck, have taken their toll. But don’t worry, Houck still has plenty to offer.

Now, I know what you might be thinking: “Fort Courage? Isn’t that just a pile of rubble now?” And you’d be right, it’s seen better days. But back in its prime, Fort Courage was THE place to be in Houck. We’re talking a pancake house serving up fluffy stacks, a Taco Bell slingin’ those tasty tacos, and of course, a trading post chock-full of souvenirs and treasures. But time, as it often does, marched on. The crowds thinned, businesses closed, and eventually, only the weathered bones of Fort Courage remained. It’s a bittersweet sight, a reminder that even the most bustling places can fade with time. But hey, that’s part of what makes Route 66 so fascinating, ain’t it? It’s a journey through history, with all its ups and downs.

Houck still has plenty to offer. There’s Ortegs’a Indian City Trading Post, a modern spot with all sorts of interesting finds. And then there’s Chee’s Indian Store, a family-owned business where you can find authentic Native American crafts and support the local community.
