Phoenix, AZ

I was thinking about how Why got its name.  Do you think it was because AZ 85 and AZ 86 form a "Y" at this location?  Just a thought ....

Spent a quick couple of days in Phoenix taking care of business.  I had some successes and a couple misses ....

I drove to see some "quirky" sights and take pictures, such as a Giant Baby And Tractor in Goodyear and a Hobo Joe Statue in Buckeye, but they were either removed or I was not able to find them.  I did find these, however ....

Superstition Mountain

Tortilla Flat, AZ - Only six people live in Tortilla Flat, but that doesn't keep it from having big flavors, big fun and big history, dating back to the '40s. You can fill up your stomach at the Tortilla Flat restaurant, get an ice-cold drink at the saloon or see what the museum and gift shop has to offer.

I spent a nice time here ... sitting in the sun, eating Prickly Pear Gelato and listening to live music.  The band was pretty good.

On the road again ....
