Scottsdale January 2016

Collectors and enthusiasts gather annually at the Barrett Jackson Car Auction in Scottsdale every January for a chance to own the car of their dreams. This particular year, my brothers, a family friend and I took in the auction and a few other activities in the Phoenix Tucson area. It was a great week.

Past Experience

Arizona 2006

My first visit to Arizona came in November 2006, and actually began in Las Vegas where I landed and met with my friends Jeff and Nikki. In addition to having a fun time in Las Vegas, we enjoyed a memorable evening horseback ride through the hills around Phoenix Arizona, my first time on a horse in many years. Once established in Phoenix, our trip included a loop up through Jerome, Prescott, Sedona and eventually the Grand Canyon. The second part of the trip focused on South Eastern Arizona and included stops in Tucson, Bisbee and Tombstone Arizona. Hard to believe that we covered this much ground in just a few days.
