"another roadtrippers paradise." Flagstaff by caffeine_induced78

Flagstaff Travel Guide: 390 reviews and 758 photos

Sitting astride Route 66 like an old cowboy grimacing from groin problems from a youth (and old age) spent on the saddle. The city doesn't want to give up the past - the kids don't want to give up the youth. The city is not large at all but the main driving force is the University of Northern Arizona. Northern? That means that it actually snows here. Route 66 I say? That means that cheap motels are aplenty here.

Pros and Cons

Pros:outdoor adventures aplenty. historical.
Cons:you would think that more Mexican Food would be around.
In a nutshell:for the skiiers and boarders in Arizona

Last visit to Flagstaff: Mar 2003

So Pluto was discovered in Flagstaff? Pluto is in Arizona? Does NASA know? If I tell them, will I receive a reward? to think, can travel extraterrestial w/o leaving usa. How naive I have been, such a fool. Pinch me.

You know, there are some who don't even consider Pluto to be a planet. Now who's the nerd.... ;-)
