It's August, the valley is sweltering, and we're going stir-crazy so we decided to drive up to Young, Arizona. We figured it's location on the Mogollon Rim means it's got to be cooler than down here and you can only get there on a dirt road. George will go any place if it's on dirt. Now, we didn't actually take any pictures of the town of Young, but we did get some nice shots of the area. We had a good lunch at Alice's Restaurant. Yup, that's the name. And yes, I did sing the song!
