Hi Steve, I have indeed seen the Arizona almanac you have posted. Arizona is a very interesting place. Most folks think of the arid Arizona desert being filled with sand and cactus. There is lots of sand, and cactus, but when leaving Phoenix, the scenery can drastically change in just 2 hours of driving.
I will share a pictorial of our weekend adventure north to Prescott. The trip was made to the annual Prescott Antique Auto Club Watson Lake Antique (everything) Auto Show. We took the Mackard (Flackmasters name for our antique Mack truck) hauling the Model A Ford built from swap meet parts specifically for this show and our hit and miss engine. There is even a Packard for sale in this story.
As you can see, there are vast stretches of high speed (75 mph) highway with steep grades and varying driving conditions. Perhaps this may help those unfamiliar with the terrain of the west understand the love affair of overdrive in our highway equipped vehicles.
