The Road to 250

Apache Junction  High  100  Low 67

 I posted today's (March 18th) temperature because this is the earliest Phoenix has ever reached 100 degrees. And for the next few days the temps are going to be even hotter. We will reach 107 on Friday. The weather is definitely broke. Seasons? What seasons? 

But back when it was only 88 to 92 we went to explore some of Arizona's past. Since the USA is getting ready to celebrate 250 years, Arizona put together a traveling museum to share some of its history. 

The museum has a replica of the Liberty Bell and is going to travel to all 15 counties in Arizona and then the Bell will be permanently installed at the State Capitol. We went to the Red Mountain Library in Mesa to see the exhibit.

It was hot, my back hurt and the heat really got to me in the trailer. They had two chairs for people to sit on and Pat and I each claimed one. Marilyn (thank you so much) stood in the sun in the long line to get in. There were lots of panels full of information, but there were so many people I didn't stay long enough to read most of them. If I had been feeling better, there is lot of information that would have been interesting to read. But thanks to Marilyn, I have been able to read several of the panels here in the air conditioning in my trailer.  

               

I'm glad we went because this is one of those one time experiences that I love.
