Arizona is a beautiful and diverse state. I used to have a subscription to Arizona Highways many years ago, and I just signed up for a new subscription again. It is an awesome magazine about beautiful and interesting places and history of Arizona. The photos are amazing! Definitely a state I want to do a lot more exploring in! I've only been around the Phoenix area and up to Carefree but want to see Sedona and the mountains near there. New Mexico is also on my bucket list. Haven't been there yet.
Have an interesting story about going to Carefree. I went up there with a girlfriend and her baby. We were shopping and stopped in a music shop. The owner thought the baby was really cute and picked up his guitar and played a song for him. I took a photo of this guy while he was playing and singing to the baby.
Later when I got back home, I was showing the photos to a co-worker friend of mine. Her mouth dropped open when she saw that photo. Years earlier, her ex-husband (who was into drugs, etc) had his obituary in the local paper, so obviously she assumed he died. Well, this photo was him! She said he was a great guitar player and would make up songs like that. When I described his personality, she said it was definitely him. Apparently, he was running from someone (probably drug dealer) and published his obituary and took off for Arizona and started a new life in Carefree. What are the odds???
