 mysterious bells by Jonathan_C
"Who left them here?"
"What does it mean?"
"Is it art?"
You have to love a community that does something creative for the fun of it without having to put up a placard telling you what it all means. With no signage it means whatever I imagine it to mean or perhaps nothing at all! The imaginative process doesn't end when the artist finishes for heaven's sake! It just moves over to the viewer.

 Prescott architecture by Jonathan_C
Much of the charm you find around you stems from the fact that Prescott was the original territorial capital of Arizona from 1863-1867 and again, after a sweaty interlude in Tuscon, from 1877 and 1889. With the completion of the southern transcontinental railraod in 1881 it would not be long until the capital was finally moved to Phoenix, just off the line, in 1889.
Based on my experience in Prescott I'd recommend the following list of state capitals and former capital cities as a pretty nice US itinerary for the historically inclined. Leave a Comment

My fondest memory of Prescott is the 4th of July celebration from a few years back. There was a huge water-balloon fight that the whole town was in on. Going down the main street with water-balloons coming at me and squirt-guns shooting was so much fun. I wish that they would do it again. Leave a Comment

During the monsoon season here, the sun and rainclouds compete for their place in the sky, and the result: a rainbow. Sometimes you'll be lucky to see a double rainbow. Leave a Comment

Take all the dirt roads you can drive on. There you will find the most beautiful sights to behold.
I have missed the lack of humidity since returning home from my visit to Prescott. So much so that I have chosen to move from Maryland to Prescott, Arizona (August 2000). Here in Prescott 90 degree temperatures feel like 80 degrees; in Maryland, 90 degree temperatures feel like 110 degrees. If you have a sinus problem in your home state, you won't have it in Prescott. My sinus's gave me breather while visiting this state. When the plane crossed the time zone change my sinus's began clogging my head almost immediately! Leave a Comment
