Arizona - Two Guns Ghost Town




 Two Guns is a historic ghost town located in Arizona, USA, along the old Route 66. It was a popular stopping point for travelers along the famous highway during the mid-20th century. The town got its name from a trading post that used to sell firearms to the Apache and Navajo tribes. Two Guns is known for its natural beauty, including the nearby Canyon Diablo and Apache Death Cave. The town's popularity waned as the route of Route 66 changed, leading to its decline. Today, Two Guns is mostly in ruins, but some remnants of the old trading post and other structures can still be found. It has become a popular spot for tourists and history enthusiasts interested in exploring its past and enjoying the scenic surroundings.

Flagstaff, Arizona - Flagstaff Street Scenes

I drove to San Francisco Street to see the shops and cafes.  Some have names on the fronts.

This is a "Historic Brewing Company" with indoor and outdoor patio dining.





 I decided to go to Whyld Ass Cafe.

 Nice double front layout with snacks, brewed coffee and teas.




 This was a spicy chipotle brownie.
 I was admiring the macrame plant hanger.

















 The Tinderbox Restaurant

 Separated by a patio, the Urban Kitchen is owned by the Tinderbox.  Nice to know that this exists. It is a little grocery store, coffee shop, tea store.  Nice to stop here before heading out for a hike to grab some to-go lunch food.


 I saw the clouds reflected in my (red) jeep window.  Pretty cool.



 Ambiance and old buildings.
 Saw this cow on a building at a red light!
 Route 66 buildings.
 This is a great "Route 66" store. The owner is German and loves all of his stuff.





 This is only one of the many shop-lines streets in Flagstaff.
