I spent a year in Phoenix one month in augustDriving to Phoenix we came the Northern route which brings you down thru Flagstaff and cuts thru the Painted Desert and Montezuma... Stopped at a KOA campground and showered and my hair which was almost waist length at the time was almost dry before we walked back and got in the car...114 degrees in the shade. Welcome to Arizona ! !

I'm a Colorado native and our plans for retirement include moving to a small town that is mountain biking/whitewater rafting heaven. Guess we'll get to know lots of folks like #1. Don't know of any kids NAMED Granola, but I LOVE traveling the mountain PASSES and my former boss was bald on top with a scraggly pony tail. So there you go, behind the stereotypes you often find a hint of reality lurking.

I'm originally from Kansas... it's all so true haha. Not sure I'm looking forward to going back there next year after spending 10 years in an exotic place (Southeast Asia). Well, it's been different!

Shade? Where? My Son and DAUGHTER and I Skied just outside of Flagstaff ( Fairfield SNow Bowl). Had a great time. A good drive from Flagstaff; take the back way to Sadona. I forget the route number, but it is west of I 17 and you pick it up just west of Flagstaff off I 70. The only shade i saw was in the cave dwellings in the rocks of Montezuma...
Black Creek Highway maybe ? ?
Quotemy hair which was almost waist length at the time
