Last month we had the opportunity to visit Steve's best friend, Zack & his family in Prescott, AZ. Let me just start by saying Arizona is very beautiful and the people who live there do take pride in keeping their state clean & wonderful. The drive was very long, mostly through the desert and we saw very few towns in between. I could never imagine living in those areas, literally in the middle of nowhere! But as we got closer to Prescott, which is in the mountains, it became more green & farm land. In fact, we drove through a town that was cattle country (too bad Mika was asleep) They were not the black & white (dairy) cows we see on our way to Hemet; they were brown (dinner) cows. It may not sound like much to you, but I thought it was a sight to be seen. Plus as we were driving through the town, they were having an auction and a big BBQ lunch afterwards. I wonder if they were betting on their lunch? j/k But it was beautiful to see the ranches with their green rolling hills.
After we drove through, we encountered the steep mountain drive up to Prescott. I have to say the scariest drive up! Worst than going up Hwy 74 & going up to Big Bear. Luckily we made it up (Zack's dad showed us another (safer) way to head back home) Then we made it into Prescott, yay! There seems to be two parts of that city, the old town & new town. The old town is like a place frozen in time. They have their little mom & pop shops, antique stores, & a town square right in the middle. When we first arrived, they had the whole town square shut down for a corvette car show. At first when we drove up, we thought everyone in town just had corvettes or something. j/k
