Arizona 2010 by Michal Huniewicz
Welcome to Arizona! The desert state, but there are also pine forests and mountains. I found it more interesting that Chicago and Las Vegas. Official neckwear, you ask? Bola tie!
Please enjoy the pictures.

Bell Rock

Good Arizona roads make it easy to carry goods - however in the past camels were used instead of trucks. Even now - you are legally not allowed to hunt camels (I haven't seen any).

On our way to Page. The road was separated from the land with that fence - rather annoying.
Maybe it is to protect wildlife and plants? For cutting down a cactus you can end up in jail for... 25 years!
