Things in Arizona !
1) The THING in the dessert (it's just a big shop on the side of the road about 60 miles east of Tucson - but they advertise with lots of billboards)
2) Grand Canyon 70 miles north of Flagstaff - impressive.
3) Petrified Forrest / Painted Desert - Eastern Arizona, near the New Mexico border, plan to spend some time there.
4) Meteor Crator - between Flagstaff and the Pertified Forrest, it makes you think about what just might happen again.
5) Colorado River & the London Bridge, yes THE London Bridge - it moved from England you know, didn't like the weather.
6) Sierra Vista & Ft. Huachuca, join the Army, see the dessert, have a shoot-out at the O.K. Corral
7) Yuma, as in "Just who do you think you are?, You Ma***.......", Old Western Prison there.
8) Needles, wait till July so you can really appreciate 120F+ degrees, good time to practice wind sprints.
9) Lost Duchman Mine, east of Phoenix in the Superstition Mountains, just go looking, you'll find it.
10) Cactus Candy - DO NOT get it confussed with Candied Cactus, different kind of stickee.
11) Hug a Suaguaro, a true act of kindness.
12) Cuddle a 'Teddy Bear' cactus, regrets? maybe after.
13) Gila Monsters, might find them out by Gila Bend, bring money for gas to get back from there though, Couple hundred dollers to get 1/2 tank.
14) Scorpions, about the size of lobsters. Check your porch in the morning, and your shoes too, before you put them on.
15) Black Widow spiders, about the size of bowling balls with a red hourglass on their belly, makes a great pet.
16) Tarantulas - spider with a bad toupe, bigger that the Black Widow, but more cuddly.
17) Tarantula Hawks - a black wasp with flourescent orange wings, abaout the size of a Beech QueenAir, and it's bad enough to rip off the lid
on the Tarantulas nest and drag it out and kick it's ass before laying it's eggs in the Tarantula to feed it's young.
18) Arizona Cardinals - but it's not really a Pro Football Team, used to be - just not no more.
19) Arizona Girls, you could get more 'Tang then the Astronauts.
20) John McCain, Arizona's own Viet Nam War hero. (Better than Bush 100 : 1)
21) Rain - get it all in one downpour for just a few billion gallons in a few minutes - can you say FLASH FLOOD ? - stay out of Arroyos.
