Frozen Twig

Lately, we have gotten quite a bit of moisture here either in the form of rain or some snow as well. Going on a trail behind Lynx Lake this twig had managed to freeze its branches in the flowing brook and it just caught my eye.

Lots of Hearts

Still along the Whiskey Row - one of the shops has lots of hearts on their display window. Anticipating Valentine's Day!

By the Palace Bar and Saloon

Along Whiskey Row this is a very historic saloon and eating place. Whiskey Row apparently got its name from a row of bars along this block. A Prescott poet, Gail Gardner, once wrote of "Whiskey Row":
"Oh they starts her in at the Kaintucky bar,
at the head of Whiskey Row,
and they winds up down by the Depot House,
some forty drinks below."

Down Montezuma Street

A restaurant frontage along Montezuma street. This restaurant has recently closed. Well - we sure hope that a new one will come in its place soon.

The Answer

Well - it is time to give an answer to my "quiz" from the previous picture. The right answer is B. Actually, this town does not know much about public transportation. There are no subways, no local bus transportation and no trains either. So people really need their own car. Here is a Jeep going around the corner. Fourwheel drives are commonly seen here because of the mountaneous terrain.

Corner of Gurley/Montezuma Street

This is the intersection of Gurley - Montezuma streets, also known as the Whiskey Row. THe building in the front is St. Michael's Cafe - a good place for a hot cup of coffee on a winter day. See the "steamy" substance off the road..
what do you think it is? a. steam from sewer b. smog from a car c. subway steam???

Hat Shop

Here it is right off Whiskey Row: a genuine western hat shop. You can find hats for almost all occasion - well, at least for winter and summer... and then some.
