On this first full day of Hanukkah,
In reality, Arizona was such a lone, alien, orphan thing that her need was only an atom in the larger urgency felt by her highborn sisters, East and West, for a transcontinental route. Arizona was merely an infant crying into the night and with no answer. Yet, like many hardy infants, she had been deposited at the right spot and was traversed at a fairly early date by the Southern Pacific, which brought an end to the enduring Apache Indian wars that had terrorized her since the 1600s.

Wanted: Tucson to Grand Canyon (Tucson)
ride wanted
I’ll be visiting Tucson between December 6-16.
If anyone is driving from Tucson to the Grand Canyon, may I pool with you?
Please only serious responses.
I’m harmless.
I am not looking for a love connection, just a rideshare.
I will help with gas.
