Along the Northern Arizona Hwy
« on: March 19, 2013, 11:02:09 PM »
Last week my wife and I took a trip into Central Arizona. �Here are a few pics of a few items I found interesting along the way. �


It seems to me that the times a highway would need plowing and patrolling the most would be nights, weekends, and during storms. �I guess you can go as fast as you'd like during those times. �That would be kind of like posting a sign for muggers and robbers: I am unarmed. �There are no guns in my house.

The Northern Arizona desert is formed heavily of sandstone formations and by prehistoric volcanic activity:


Here is a unique sandstone formation jutting up out of the desert floor.


Here is another sandstone formation capped with a craggy black lava flow. �

That scenery looks very familiar......Is that highway 89 ?   (I used to live in Page back in 94-7 and worked for a wrecker company in town.)

Calvin, do you know if Hw. 89 to Page is open since the slide? It was closed the last I heard.

No, it's not highway 89 in the Page area, but so much of that part of the state looks the same, and I like it all.  And I don't know if the slide on 89 has been cleared yet.  This is farther east on highway 191 about 50 miles north of Holbrook.

191 would have been my next guess... Where was the slide?   I will be in SLC in a few days, Might try and drive thru the old haunts on the way back to TX...

 Kind of reminds me of a sign I saw on Hwy59 about half way between Douglas and Gillette Wyoming, it said " Emergency stopping only".  I still can't figure out why else you'd stop.

If I have to stop and pee along the highway, it is an EMERGENCY!
