Good morning folks, did go up to Prescott yesterday, did pick up some ammo. Just a beautiful day, even up there, a bit chilly, but no jackets required. Some snow on some nearby hills but none anywhere else. Surprising, it was hard to find anyone up there wearing a mask. No different than a year ago when I went there. In Arizona, each city and town makes their own rules. It must be OK, their rate is no higher than anywhere else in the state. We went by the Yarnell Firefighter's Memorial, my friend said that it's about a seven-mile hike from there to the actual memorial. Still, many people there making the trek. Anyway, we picked up enough 9MM ammo at a great price (today's market), enough to keep a good bunch of us happy.
We were in a remote area between Skull Valley and Kirkland and we saw them building what looked like two coal flood loading towers. Didn't make sense, there are seldom used tracks on the other side of the road and no sign that there will be tracks though the opening at the bottom, like maybe for trucks rather than railcars. That, plus there's no place nearby where they are mining or even farming anything. Unable to figure out what they're going to be doing there.
Heading out to breakfast, have a great day, and stay safe. Lots of crazies out there right now.
