Prescott, AZ



Downtown Prescott was having a Whiskey Road Shootout, I am guessing a reenactment of some shootout from the Wild Wild West. William says they do a lot of that cowboy shooting, old town stuff out here and they sure do. I am not much into the wild wild west and shooting but people watching was in full swing. Doing a reenactment means dressing the part and these participants were having a great time in their costumes, shooting off guns and acting all western.

Prescott is Arizona's best preserved town with more than 600 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places. There was an abandoned Motor Inn. It was really sad to see the building is such disrepair but you can just imagine all the people that have stayed there in the past when they were in the area for a vacation or just passing through.
We saw some interesting "bumper stickers" throughout the town, I believe the pictures speak for themselves.

When was the last time you have seen a public phone booth on a street corner? Not sure if they don't have the network behind them up there or what but that was certainly something I haven't seen in a long, long time. The last couple pictures were taken from the window of the van going 75 on the Interstate . Enough said, lots of scenery to be seen.
