Thanks Bob for such a great read this morning! Killer photos and I could read about your encounters in your beautiful state for hours! Nicely done.
Thank you, I appreciate you saying that!
I’ve always enjoyed seeing your beautiful forests and coastlines too!
I do too! That train station is now a museum, but I have yet to be able to go in there, they only open it on special occasions.
Thank you! You wouldn’t believe the stupid amount of time I put into researching a trip like that before I go. I knew before I even left home, some specific things I wanted to photograph, and I accumulated sooo much info on old west Calvary forts and Indian battles and massacres. Sometimes it’s hard to know where to cut things off, but I figure people enjoy photos more than reading, so I try to make them photo intensive!
Thanks Raymond! We all enjoy seeing different parts of the world eh? Here’s another good Arizona town name,
Why Arizona……where the lizards outnumber the people. The story behind the name is, a long time ago there was a fork in the road at the edge of town. People got used to saying that they lived “ at the Y” the name stuck.

Thank you!
The open space and mountains have always been appealing to me.
Why, as Yogi Berra famously quipped "When you get to the fork in the road, take it"
I missed this one - just catching up - WOW Bob - superb photos!
When I go through these tiny isolated towns (in whatever country), I always wonder....where do these folks work and how do they earn a living here?
With such tiny populations, relatively little traffic passing by, and no industries in the vicinity...from where does the money come?

Some of them are local ranchers / farmers , and a lot of them work in bigger cities ( in this case Prescott, which is a 30 minute drive from there)
@Mailman It don't a take a motorcycle to post up great travelogs.
You really want to see me driving around in my Hyundai?
A Hyundai ride in Arizona is better than a Hyundai ride in Illinois this time of year...You really want to see me driving around in my Hyundai?
You've had rain, how far off can bloom'n desert be?You really want to see me driving around in my Hyundai?
