The other day traveling through the Arizona flat land between Phoenix and Tucson, I met someone at a Pilot Truck Stop in Casa Grande coming from Austin, TX and on their way to Oregon for a Horse Show. They asked me briefly so what is in this state anyway. I kind of laughed and I said well have you ever heard of the Grand Canyon
They smiled and said; Oh Yah. I said well there is lots to see in Arizona. They said; Yah but what about Southern Arizona, what is in this part I told him he was practically in Central Arizona and would be in Phoenix within the hour. But I know Arizona pretty well like most states, as I have Relatives in Winslow AZ. Just traveled by there the other day, I love the Meteor Crater and Museum, bought a magnetized rock by the road side gift shop, now closed; also I met some Cal Tech NASA guys there testing the rover once, very cool the tele-robotic systems.
Have been to almost every city in AZ. Lots of Southern Cities; Yuma, my brother is a USMC Aviator, had training there, Bisbee Mine Tour in the Yellow Carts, Tucson (I like Bookmans), Sierra Vista and Douglas too. Have friends in Oro Valley and a former franchisee of our company before I retired. I some more friends along the Saguaro National Forest too.
I have traveled 70 from Globe all the way thru NM and then to Silver City. Also traveled up the 77 from the Biosphere to Globe. I have been everywhere in the US, well North America too. I like AZ, the mountains are cool; as there is no Noise or Light pollution and such. But some spots are too dry due to weather and droughts, I worry about that and have driven thru areas months after large fires and that is a bummer.
