I thought I’d share with y’all a couple of pictures I took on my recent trip to go square dancing in Phoenix a couple of weeks ago.
The first is a picture of the sign you see when you enter the town of Gila Bend, Arizona. A number of desert communities have humorous or otherwise interesting signs, and I particularly like Gila Bend’s (click to enlarge):
The second picture is one I took in Imperial County, California, where the Salton Sea is located. The Salton Sea is the lowest body of water in the United States–a couple hundred feet below sea level, making it American’s equivalent to the Dead Sea. But you don’t have a body of water be that low without the surrounding land being low, too, and so on many various buildings in Imperial County you’ll see elevation markers like this one (click to enlarge):
