Treked all over Squaw Peak, North Mountain, Papagos etc. Painted the mansion of one of the Phoenix Suns on Camelback Mt. Went up to Christopher creek which I here now is dry? I'm writing a book that takes place in Phoenix during the monsoon season. It also has highlights about my perspective on Sedona and the bad guy has a cabin on the Mogollon Rim. Lived in northwest corridor near ASU west. It's nostalgia for me now, but don't miss 118 heat. Fly out there twice a year. My favorite shops were the spicy Indian shops over near 16th street. Loved to shop Jutes and Hoops on 32nd st. and Camelback, maybe it's not there anymore. Went to Jan Ross for a reading once, lol. Need to visit and go see places again instead of relatives. Bought my first NIN tape, yes tape in the 90's at Christown.

I was just thinking about them the other day, because I was remembering that they always carried Sex Wax which makes no sense as we do not have an ocean… Christown changed it's name to Spectrum & now it's Christown Spectrum. Ha! (I also just realised I haven't been to that mall since…oh, 1992 when I had a performance there. Double Ha!) Squaw Peak is Piestewa Peak, but no one calls it that except for the media. As for Christopher Creek, well, most everything is dry anymore. We got some good snow this year, though, so hopefully things will start flowing more this spring. I'm excited for your book! Long, long ago I wrote a paper that had to do with a lot of the fighting that went on up at the Mogollon Rim back in the 1800s, I believe. Good luck with it!

forkintheeye member Joined: 08/15/08 Posts: 5,673	azcentral.com posted: Scottsdale needs name for its cowgirl A Scottsdale cowgirl dreamed up in an advertising campaign will get a name this spring in a Scottsdale tourism bureau contest. Visitors to www.ScottsdaleCowgirl.com can submit a name for the Scottsdale cowgirl. She is twirling a lasso in a stylized ad with a martini-sipping cowboy, saguaros and a starry sky in the background. "The contest draws visitors to our Web site to explore what Scottsdale has to offer, ultimately increasing our visitation," said Lauren Simons, bureau vice president of marketing. The winner will get: • Roundtrip airfare for two to the Valley. • A two-day stay at the Arizona Cowboy College in Scottsdale. • A two-night stay at the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale. Submissions are due by March 30 at www.scottsdalecowgirl.com. Judges will select the top 10 names based on originality, aptness and relevancy. Those names will be posted online for Web site visitors to vote on from April 1-15. The Scottsdale cowgirl ad is part of the bureau's latest marketing campaign. Ads will be published in the New York Times Magazine, New Yorker, Chicago Tribune, Calgary Herald and Vancouver Sun. The Riester agency created the ads. Photographer Kate Turning took pictures of models Brooke Taylor and John Cherland at Pinnacle Peak. The photos were altered to give them a romanticized, movie-set look. More than 2,500 votes were tallied last year in the tourism bureau contest "Take Pity on Me" in which participants sent photographs of themselves enduring frigid winter weather.

Lemmon on the 15th. thw snow was pretty damned deep. as much as i like it to be 115 degrees, i hope it snows again. i wanna go back up the hill. and there's waterfalls in the canyons. we all need to pray for more snow or rain before it gets hot! nice quail dj. i actually got to rescue a baby quail in june 07. it was the cutest thing i have ever had the pleasure of holding in my hands.

I can't get over how much i love them and their quirky little quail-habits. I can't believe you got to hold one! In a related animal-saving story, when we get the flash floods during monsoon season, occasionally desert tortises would get washed up and then caught between the rushing water and a fence in my backyard that ran through the wash. SO as a young'un i would wade out into the dirty flash flood and save turtles and keep them all in my bedroom, but they would ALWAYS die!! (Of pneumonia i assume.)

I'll be in the area for just over a week. Tucson will be my home base and I'll have a Toyota Prius rental car (natch!). Is the petrified forest park worth the trip?
