Title
Arizona Curiosities: Quirky Characters, Roadside Oddities & Other Offbeat Stuff - Paperback
by Sam Lowe (Author)
Saguaro cacti, desert landscapes, and the Grand Canyon may stand out as prominent Arizona features, but this scorching state is also home to bizarre places, personalities, events, and phenomena. These unique and quirky aspects are humorously displayed in Arizona Curiosities, a cross between a wacky news gazette, an almanac, and a humorous travel guide.

Stop to see the world's largest kokopelli at Camp Verde--it's thirty-two feet tall, painted bright yellow, and perched on a six-foot base, so you probably won't miss it. Mosey into Castle Dome City, once bigger than Yuma, now one mighty fine ghost town. Feed the ostriches at Rooster Cogburn's Ostrich Ranch. Yes, there really is a Rooster Cogburn!
