Historic Marker

Historical markers are everywhere along state highways, and these two along US 70 are a good example of just how much history you can find while driving.

Why are we getting a little excited over this photo of a rusted out car from the 1930s? Well, let us tell you.

It isn't exactly news that history abounds along Arizona highways. A casual driver can learn about historical figures ranging from Hi Jolly to Tom Mix by visiting various historical markers and monuments.

But what might be news to you, as it was to me, is the Indian Gardens historical marker on State Route 89A as you head to or from Oak Creek Canyon.

A marker on SR 82 remembers Camp Crittenden, which may have something to do with where SR 82 ended up.
