ROAD TRIP- LATER THAT DAY....

december 30th, 2011
10amish
i'm driving thru the dragoon mountains, chochise county, arizona. the scenery is a beauty..
reminds me a bit of joshua tree.

i stop of at a small little town called- WILLCOX, AZ.  wow.. a nice step back in time.

 founded in 1880 as a whistlestop on the Southern Pacific Railroad. It was renamed in honor of a visit by General Orlando B. Willcox in 1889.  Interstate 10  replaced the railroad as the major transportation link, and much of the economy is now tied to Interstate 10, which runs immediately north of the town.

the population is just below 3800!

the town  basically consists of two streets. the main street and the street along the railroad. this area is amazing.. like a real life version of the film- THE LAST PICTURE SHOW.

does anyone remember this flick by peter bogdanovich, circa 1971? 

i plan to stay here over night on the way home. i must experience a little more.
