Well, my visit to Phoenix ended as all my other stays in that metropolis in the desert...couldn't wait to be somewhere else. I felt like I was somehow stranded in a right-wing lunatic asylum. There were some positive activities but I was once again thrilled to see Arizona in my rear view mirror. Don't think I am ever going back.
I ended up in Trinidad, Colorado almost by accident and had no idea such a location still existed. The historic architecture is fabulous. Ferndale, California in Humboldt County has similar architecture from the same era but not at this scale. Several communities in Nevada have similar features but not at this scale. More to come...
