We're in Jakes Corner, where this movie was made.
Inside Jakes. We had a good lunch here.
The cook as Jakes. Good chow.

I like the: Phone...Unlisted....."We'll Smell the Smoke"
We latched up with Jack and Barb Foree on the road. What a treat! They came down to the Slick/Honey house for the evening. In this picture, Barb is talking to Jim and Katie.

Wrong Turn had a long, hard day :-) He was enjoying the fire and the company, then pretty soon he was enjoying the fire all by himself!

We stopped in Gila Bend for gas and to remove a layer or two of clothes It was a cold 70 degrees when we left this morning.
Jim with his "Irresistible Desert Shrimp".
Bridge over the mighty Gila River. It's harder to shoot off the Burgman than it was the Wing with cruise control. 
This old bridge has seen better days.
The Gila used to be a major River. It stil lis, and very important, but by this far, it's been tapped for so much irragation, there's not much left.
A temporary repair that became permenant. A little sand blasting would help.
A trashy wash along old highway 80. The land of flash floods.
We latched up with Skid and Sandy at a Walmart, and managed to find our nest for the weekend, Slick and Tracy's home in Gilbert, AZ.
Our friend Jax from Tennessee must have a side busniess out here, catching bugs!
Our destination.
Getting settled into John and Tracy's nice home.
Katie is a little Mountain Girl. Didn't take her long to get her feet in the cement pond.
Nice pool!
The back yard adjoins a nice city park.
