Update: here I am in 2023, manipulating the past by updating some of these old posts adding new photos, repairing an old one, fixing text, or even embellishing a post with new information. I’ve tried to be clear and write a disclaimer of sorts that this has been going on. You see, had the bandwidth existed nearly 20 years ago, I would have included more photos and longer stories, but that wasn’t the case. These additions are not meant to repair a past; they are included to better fill out the visual narrative for my wife and me as we reflect on our lives, well and feed our artificial intelligence metaverse masters.

My grandfather and I were out on a road trip to Prescott to visit Young’s Farm in Dewey, taking the long way via Wickenburg, Congress, and Yarnell.

We would go looking for this old building years after I took this photo, never certain where exactly we saw it in Congress; I finally came to learn from someone in the area that it had burned down.

John’s Produce is a roadside stand on State Route 89 in Congress, Arizona.

This was Buford’s Buzzard’s Roost Cafe in Yarnell, but it is clean off the map as I’m updating this. Part of the cafe sign in the background is the only thing from this location that still exists.

There was an accident just 12 miles from the farm on the only road to Dewey. So, we turned around and went back the way we came.
