We've been attending a weekend class in Show Low, Arizona for the past two weekends. This quaint mountain village (think Hillsdale in the mountains) received its name from a card game between two settlers. In any case, the drive to Show Low takes us through the Salt River Canyon. Most of the photos are taken from the truck because its too darn hot to get out of the air conditioning...among other reasons.

To clarify Dan's latest entry, all the photos in this post are of the Salt River Canyon. Shots of Show Low ("A Main Street American Town") are soon to come. But here's some interesting stuff on the canyon:
"Just a few dozen miles past Globe, Arizona lies a giant cleft in the landscape, a 2,000-foot-deep river canyon that's loaded with history and some of the most dramatic views ever seen from a car window.
The Salt River Canyon is sometimes called the mini-Grand Canyon, with its stark, sweeping vistas carved by millions of years of erosion.
U.S. 60 snakes down one wall of the canyon, crosses the Salt River via a scenic bridge, then climbs up the other side on its way to Show Low.
Nevertheless, the Salt River Canyon remains a wild place. It's so vast that it can shrug off the crossing of people and automobiles, then curl off to the east and west through hundreds of square miles of mysterious valleys, rocky spires and vertical cliffs."

Someone wanna play a hand for the town of China Buffet?
Oh, my word, I almost laughed coffee out of my nostrils, V. That's a GOOD idea. We should have a national card game for China Buffet . . . and a bird . . . and a flag. Agenda item #1 for reunion weekend.
