Our Day Trip for Saturday

A panaroma of the hills above the downtown. See the car go into the time travel as it passed by.

A look at the town of Globe, AZ. Its built on the hills surrounding the valley below. We had just left the county rv park and it was a nice one. All dirt, not enough room to turn in and for $16.00 a day you get water and elec and long time neighors. For $24.00 a day they add sewer and still the same long time neighors. There were a nice dp and a new gas in there. Walmart looked better.


Now we stopped for gas at the Arco by Walmart, $2.63.9, and saw this at the store. These folks are really down on their luck. Not enough to rent a trailer to haul some stuff. I am surprised the state and local police allowed them to drive on the highway. One good bump and the whole hood support could come off.
One of the several copper plants here. Phelps-Dodge has been here 125 years per their sign. There was more overburden and slag piles than you could imagine. As you can see, there piles were taller than the hills around the town.














We did see this in the historic downtown district. Its an old SP steam engine. It was on display at the park setup bu the town.

There is a place on down US60 that Shirley wanted to see and we did go there but that post will be tomorrow.

We were down yesterday, no internet signal from Dan so we set up ours. It all went right except no system signal. It seems I copied the gps wrong for the W at 32 when it should have been 33. All is corrected now and we are up on our signal.

Its heck to get old and cant sea, red, wite, and all that. But it will happen to you so be prepared. Buy your arm extenders now while they are cheap. When you need them the price will more than double.

DW: 126*, 41*, -35*, 57 with a passing 64.
