We were starving, hot, dry and dusty. And we had been sold, big time, on "Taylor Freeze" in Pima, two towns before our destination - after a dozen plus of their billboards advertising ice cream, milk shakes, and then the one with "banana split" sealed the deal - except, in fine print, I then saw "Closed on Sundays" - on that last of 20 signs advertising the joint. Nooooooo!!!!!!!
For the love of all things cold, wet and sweet!
So we stopped in ... at Denny's; the next thing that we saw, that was open (the whole town of Thatcher is closed on Sundays, it seems; after we passed the Church of Latter Day Saints...maybe it made sense?)
And there he was. Mr. Creosote. I am still amazed that the little Denny's wooden chair was able to hold him.
Would you like a mint? It's wafer thin!
Just looked up Mr. Creosote on google.... ahhh... soo... the famous spread of the waistline.... Where to next?? NH

Seems some of these old cultures were done in by climatic changes. Huh? Imagine that?!
