Those are cool, huh? They'll even send you a fairly big, hi-res file in jpg or gif. No charge, our tax dollars at work. I printed some up and framed them around the house.

I look at the people in the pictures and wonder about them. Are they still alive? Do they remember when? I would love to have been here in the 1920's, except for the part about no booze. Beer

I do the same thing...have spent hours looking at the people in the photos. I see nobleness and bravery, hard work, and determination. One I came across awhile back was a shot of 3 women who would go 'hiking' and riding down in the Bisbee area...adorned in their long skirts and big hats with their holsters and irons and a pack horse...all with big smiles on their face. I was born in the wrong era. Wink

I feel the same way; my father told me once that I was born in the wrong era and I don't thnk he meant the Paleozoic.

My dad had been coming to Arizona since 1952 and we moved here in 67. He had also tken the picture of the Barber Pole tree # 88 in the Tonto file. Some of the plces I have visted and recall like # 67 the Seep Springs. My uncle had a couple of the signs depicted in the pictures, including a Crooks National Forest sign.
