Phoenix, AZ. Population 1½ million packed within its 517 square mile boundary; Include the metro area and the total count of inhabitants jumps to 4½ million. Phoenix is known as the “Valley of the Sun” but when we arrived it was raining. This picture was taken just after the rain, masked and disguised, clean and washed dust-free it makes the city seem almost tranquil and inviting.
OUR LADY OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT CATHOLIC CHURCH 1915
Miami, AZ Freeport Mcmoran Copper & Gold mine seems to have made a resurgence with the price of gold and copper at all time highs.
Grotto snuggled next to the church.

We rode through Globe, AZ and on to the San Carlos Indian Reservation. The Apache Gold Casino, golf course, Smoke-shop, and RV park has been carved out of, or better said, "into" the desert hills and is beginning to yield much needed revenue for the Apache Nation. The smoke shop was doing a brisk business when I walked over to have a look. Natural Light beer was on sale and the line for the 30 pack was stretched to the back of the store. Drive safe kids.
