Mcrafty1 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Nice pics, Id like to see the south west before I die. On another note do they use those cactus's for power poles all over Az. or just there at that spot?

Brocky Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 McCrafty I think Grayhair just got lucky without knowing it!! There is probably a steel tower on top of the ridge behind the cactus.. He just lined them up perfectly!!

grayhair Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Guys, the cactus is real. There is a regular wood utility pole behind the cactus. (The owl is fake.)

Al There is so much cool stuff to see in Arizona. if you don't have school-age children to take with you, then the best time to go is April or May (before kids are out on on summer vacation) or September/October after they are back in school. Much less crowded at tourist spots like the Grand Canyon. Other stuff to see is old mining town, Jerome, AZ, and Sin Agua Indian ruins. Couple more photos. Photo doesn't do justice to the Grand Canyon. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44645-stuff-to-see-in-arizona-if-you-get-a-chance/#findComment-330667 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZB755V8 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 There is a lot more to see in Jerome, the town is haunted too. Did you get the the truck graveyard in one of the old quarries there? Not a public tour though. I was invited but could not make it last year. Lots of old iron in then there hills... A real treasure trove I am told... Found a couple of LT's up by there in Cottonwood a few years back, only wanted to sell them complete, no parts.

Freightrain Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I know of the fellow in Jerome that has the old mine and the trucks. He is a member of the ATHS and a fellow made a video of him and his trucks about 15 yrs ago. I'm trying to find it, I have the VHS version and there are a few that are put on Youtube. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Nope, was unaware and didn't see old truck graveyard. I would like to though next time in AZ. I did see Pancho Villa and General Scott.

HarryS Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 That's him. I met him and his truck a number of years ago at one of the ATHS shows. What a character, what a truck. Sounds like he has about as many gears as FT.

Vladislav Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Nice scenaries, thank you for sharing. Colorado river is on my "to watch" list but in Utah. Currently it's not the plan for the nearest future though.

j hancock Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 He probably has a sensor built into the trans. that sends the gear shift "number" via the internet to his iPhone which than relays the info to a dash mounted LCD screen via bluetooth.
