I think everyone should try to see the Grand Canyon at least once in their life.  I've seen it once and have a yearning to go back.

Where did you go at the Canyon?

Hi Folks, Just dropping by to say hello. I visited Arizona last September (I have a cousin in Tucson), and thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Spent 10 days in the state including a couple of nights at Grand Canyon. Instead of cross the GC off my bucket list, I've left it there since two nights is nowhere near enough time at that amazing place.

I hope to return to Arizona again next year, so I will keep an eye on this group in anticipation of learning a lot more about this state.

Cheers,

Jim

I'm looking for writers who cover Arizona to review my book, BACKROADS & BYWAYS OF ARIZONA. I'm also looking for guest posting opportunities and exchanges, or interviews. I'd love to get your take on Arizona, especially if you live outside of the state, for my blog. And I'm more than happy to give you my thoughts. My book has been out a year now, it's selling steadily, and I just found out I'm #24 (of 100) on the Most Wished for Books in Arizona on Amazon.com. I'm about 500 books away from earning back my advance and would love to finish the year out selling those remaining books. Can you help me accomplish that goal? How can I help you?

Been to Lute's, yeah good burgers and great atmosphere. Visit our blog tomorrow for a Sonoran Desert photo essay centered around that area.

The mascot comes from the fact that the high school was once housed in the Territorial Prison. My son, who was born in Yuma but graduated from high school in Phoenix, nabbed my 10-year high school reunion t-shirt when he was in high school, because he, too, got a kick out of the mascot name. I don't remember Musick's, but I remember Wimpy's (a burger joint now closed) and loved Lute's Casino. Went there after every high school newspaper paste-up day. In the 80s, we were still working with wax machines and percentage wheels to design the paper. Fun days. Loved Lute's. It's still open. Best burgers in town. Fun, eclectic and historic atmosphere.

Jackie, no, I just visit there sometimes. One of my relatives used to have a diner there, you might remember Musick's restaurant on 16th? Love that the mascot there is the Criminal. I remember a cop there telling us he'd grown up in Yuma and was a proud Criminal!

Darryl, are you from Yuma? I went to high school there, was a Yuma Criminal, graduated in the 80s. I cover Yuma in my book, the chapter on Arizona's West Coast. Used to visit Algodones and San Luis, Sonora, Mexico pretty frequently.

Hey, thanks for inviting me to join! We LOVED Arizona that we visited this September on our Four Corners trip.
