I first visited Arizona in 1977, when I took a family trip to see the Grand Canyon. In the summer of 1994, I got back there again, getting a look at the relocated London Bridge over Lake Havasu City, the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff (no, I didn't forget Winona), and, of course, a Phoenix Firebirds game in Scottsdale. I've since been back for the Diamondbacks and the Arizona Fall League, and some great hiking within Phoenix.
