Arizona and why I could never leave it...

[runeight]

Arizona and why I love it.​

I truly love this great state. I'm sure Copperone, Mr Biscuit and others will agree. There are so many places and so much History here it would take a great deal of your time to learn it all.

This area sits South of Flagstaff. Oak Creek Canyon, Sedona and Jerome. Prescott sits further West and is just as beautiful. I did not take pictures heading up to Flagstaff. I didn't think of it because my job takes me there.

Without further ado the Arizona landscape. (small portion of it)

Oak Creek Canyon going South to Sedona.

Getting closer to Sedona. Red Rock Country.

We headed over to one of my favorite places in Arizona. Jerome.

The History of this town still amazes me. I spent several hours in the Muesum and it was insprining to both Mikki and myself. I plan on staying at the Hotel in the future.

Largest Copper mine in the US at the time and in 1927 profits were 1 million a month. (think about that)

Going home.

About one hour from home.

I always pull over here and tell Mikki to "get out!"

GOD Bless America!​

great pics... the mrs and i love AZ and plan on moving there upon retirement (still a ways off). actually looking into maybe getting a small condo to get us into the real estate market out there to get our feet wet and have a place for us and friends to stay when we go out for vacations. sedona is beautiful, great little bed and breakfast places too. definitely going to rent a m/c next time out there.

I love Arizona. I thought I'd never leave it either, 16 years ago but had to go to CA to take a much needed job. Really thought I'd go back after a short time but 14 years later, we came to New Mexico. Long story, but really, I know what you mean about AZ. Jerome, Prescott, Oak Creek Canyon, Window Rock, Lukachukai Mountains, Chuska Mountains, and the works. All are spectacular.

Then you have Tombstone, Bisbee, Douglas, Safford, the Chiricahua, Kartchner Caverns, The BioSphere (NOT the BioDome as we were informed in no uncertain terms), and all kinds of other notable historical sites.

Then there is the beauty of Payson, Show Low, The Painted Desert and the Petrified Forest, Meteor Crater, the Grand Canyon, etc. The list is endless, it seems. More history than you know what to do with.

Living here, though, I'm still in striking distance. I absolutely love where I live now but I love going to AZ and do so as often as possible.

Excellent photos, too, bro.

This shot here is actually Bullhead City where I live. You can see the Colorado River.

On the West side of the river is Nevada. Picture taken at Union Pass, elevation 3200 feet. Bullhead City is 504 feet thus the heat of summer.

I came very close to moving to Prescott this past summer.
I just love the pace there compared to L.A. People are so calm and self-assured.
Stayed at the Hasayampa(did I spell that right?)
