<DIV>It so nice to see people use the word Christmas. Having moved from
the East Coast to Missouri (and now to Arizona) I'm glad to see the trend
reversing where Christmas was demoted to "Winter Holiday" or "Seasons
Greetings". This age of PC has, IMHO, ruined so many things.
There is nothing wrong to being sensitive to others and their traditions but
why did we have to lose ours? I see nothing wrong with a Merry Christmas
or a Happy Chanukah when appropriate and that list can be expanded as well to
respect others holidays. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sorry for the off topic response. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I also see that the weather forecast is for HOT, may not be
doing mucn caching when I get to Florence and Apache
Junction.<BR><BR> </DIV>

get pretty good cell phone coverage on almost, if not all of the distance
between Show Low to Globe. It is true that you pass through both the
White Mountain Apache Reservation and the San Carlos Apache Reservation, but
the road is well patrolled by DPS and not by Reservation law
enforcement. <BR><BR>If you do come through that way, look for the
Christmas tree that's decorated year round. It's on the north side of
the road between the Carrizo creek bridge and the Cibeque turn off.
It's just inside the canyon that you come out of and get to the passing lane
before the the Cibeque turn off. It's easy to see heading south,
but if you know where to look you'll see it when your driving north.
Every year it has a new set of decorations. <BR><BR>Jake - Team A.I.

PM<BR>Subject: Re: [Az-Geocaching] Best Route <BR><BR>Thanks for all the
great advice, I agree that the safest route would be
all<BR>Interstate but right now I have a hard time seeing myself drive to
Flagstaff <BR>and past Sedona (just love it there) to get to
AJ. For the next few years <BR>we will be making this trip
several times a year so finding the most<BR>efficient route also comes
into play. The trek from Show Low to Globe is 87 <BR>miles of
two lane non expressway which is quite twisted in parts. Not
sure <BR>what the speed limit is or if gas is readily
available, Hitting an elk<BR>along Rt 87 would make for a bad
day. What critters are along Rt 60? Also, <BR>if we
do break down, any cell phone signal (Verizon) and would we run into
<BR>trouble from others traveling that road? [Had trouble in
New Mexico a few<BR>years back when "locals" were checking out the truck
with the out of town <BR>plates, looked like they had a "bump and run" in
mind. They tailed us for a <BR>good long while with plenty of
chances to pass, which they eventually did.<BR>I guess the NRA sticker on
the back may have helped change their minds]. <BR><BR>On 6/16/07, Daniel
