we found the Land of a Thousand Chollas...
... and they found us.we left our mark on the tomato during Shower Day
(good showers here in Wikiup, by the way!)from here we encountered the Unforgettable Women of Wenden and the place where Salome danced (who's read Skinny Legs and All...?)
by the end of it all, we were beyond Hope.
This just made my day! These pictures are incredible! Here's something I found to make sense of the sign for Salome:
ReplyDelete"Salome was established in 1904 with the help of Charles W. Pratt in the area that Dick Wick Hall liked to call "Happy Valley". It was during that time that Mrs. (Salome) Pratt attempted to walk on the hot desert sand in her bare feet and proceeded to "dance" to her destination. There and then Dick Wick Hall name the town "Salome - where she danced - Arizona". There is a biblical "Salome" that danced for her king, and although there is not a connection written, it seems that the well educated and diverse Dick Wick Hall must have known the story."
Thanks for the great update. It looks like you guys need a new tomato pen!
