Is/was the Great Lakes yours? Do you have any pictures?

One day four years ago a friend and I took off for Phoenix. It was a rough ride so we decided to stop in Gila Bend for a break. After we landed a fellow drove up and literally handed us the car keys. All he asked in return was that we put in some gas. Since we didn't know were to go for lunch he wound up driving us around. We offered to buy him lunch but he declined. This would never have happened in San Diego.

After lunch my friend made the mistake of calling his wife. She was not happy to find out he was in Arizona and told him to get home now. So our trip to Phoenix was axed.

The few airports I've seen in Arizona are well maintained. The one in Gila Bend had just been repaved. Arizona, unlike California, recognizes and appreciates the usefulness of airports. I also noticed that due to the temperatures in Arizona, the runways are quite a bit longer than the ones in la la state.
