Local Observations from June 2008

• Travel from Tucson to Duncan and back, through Safford each time.
• Very dry, but that is to be expected
• Traffic appeared to be down, way down
• Duncan and Safford were devoid of other drivers, people on the streets
• Upper Gila valley in cotton
• Monsoon is nearly here (good timing -- St. John the Baptist day was Tuesday)
  
• Travel to Casa Grande National Monument on 15th
• Not many were travelling on the interstate
• Coolidge seems empty
• Case Grande was in corn, of all things.
