Box Canyon - First Light Asking for a little help here, Tumblr Friends… This untouched and pristine area of the Arizona Sonoran Desert is being looked at to be developed (“paint paradise and put up a parking lot” - Joni Mitchell). Now… where would YOU put a Hotel/Resort and a ton of homes? The developers say right here! I did a press release that can be found here. If after reading it (assuming you did) and you feel strongly about preserving the natural beauty that was annexed in 1998 to be PRESERVED, please feel free to let the Council Members for the town of Queen Creek know before December 19th. Thanks in advance for your support. Kind Regards, Things Are Hazy

Reading a book by a lake in the Arizona mountains. I can hear the wind whip through the trees, and church bells coming from over the hill. They’ve been going for over an hour. Nice soundtrack for the mountains.

After seven or so years in the state of Arizona, I am not amazed that the state decides to go back in time. Chain gangs, mostly abandoned in 1955 was reintroduced in 1995 in the state of Arizona. At this writing it is late June, 2012. If you read below these ladies are being held in tents, outside, to ease overcrowding in the jail in the Maricopa County Jail. It’s going to be 115 degrees today! Are you serious? Welcome to 1955! guardian: Members of America’s only all-female chain gang march to a bus that will transport them to their worksite outside Estrella jail in Phoenix, Az. With a few exceptions, chain gangs were abandoned in the U.S. by 1955, but Arizona reintroduced the practice in 1995. The women volunteer for the duty, looking to break the monotony of jail life. Most are in for minor convictions and are housed at a collection of surplus military tents erected next to the Maricopa County jail to ease overcrowding.Photograph: Jim Lo Scalzo/EPA

Old building and truck in Patagonia, AZ Great for bird watching, hiking or just chilling in a very small town. Very nice trip and close to the wineries in Sonoita.
