This is a huge complex more than a couple of square miles in area. It includes a top flight golf course, temporary horse stables, rodeo grounds, casino, separate night club and sports complex. Problem being things seem to be only 1/2 completed or poorly maintained. It's hard to tell if the place is on the way up or down. Has prosperity come and gone or possibly never achieved? Maybe poor management of the casino dollars, too quick of an expansion with too many irons in the fire or the overall decline in the economy has left the tumbleweeds to gather at the fence lines.
Were heading on up north today, across the rez, along a twisty mountain road, Highway 60, toward Springerville, AZ. A switchback road across the White Mountains guarantees great vistas, I just hope it's well maintained, and even better yet, it's a 4 lane highway.
Oh yeah, we're leaving our "Apache Gold Casino" blackjack experience $11 dollars in the black. I suppose we could have played our cards a little more reckless and left a couple of bucks to help them with thier maintainence projects....Next time.
