Pictures From A Vacation, Sort Of

Went to Phoenix for a few days again last week, and lucked out with the weather again, too.  70-75 degrees and sunny every day.

This year's trip was much like last year in other respects as well, but a few new observations:

I highly recommend the Talking Stick Resort.

Visit Apache Junction, AZ for a trail-walking, ghost town-visiting, and saloon-imbibing good time.

There is no non-private golf course in the U.S. in better condition than We-Ko-Pa in Fort McDowell, AZ.

I gained firsthand knowledge of what a jumping cholla can do to a golfer if they aren't careful.  (Another reason to not hit the ball into the desert scrub.)

It sure seems easy to get around in Phoenix, it's spread out and there's lots of pavement for driving.  However, if you have trouble on the 101 or the 202, it's easy to get directions, like this.
