My Two Quick Trips to the...

On January 24, 2004, the Gila River Indian Community opened arguably the nation’s finest tribal facility
for the preservation and display of important cultural artifacts and art.

Well today 5/7/2016 (after my atheist freethinker meet-up)
 I saw that Gila River Indian Reservation out in the desert off the freeway and I stopped in.
Dangerous intersection there. The drive home off the rez put me right on Riggs Road and Home to Red Neck Lakes!

Here is my quick stop on the rez. The girl throwing the rock at me gave me the sweetest greeting but apparently didn't like her picture being taken.
I think she was smiling and teasing more than mad. I hope.
THIS IS JUST ONE VIDEO I TOOK.

That music in the video was Waila or Chicken Scratch that was invented on that rez. It's kind of Norteño. Dig this cool documentary on it. I love this video:

I ALSO WENT TODAY MARCH 5, 2020 a Thursday.
No one was there really. A couple of cars. Doors LOCKED. Nothing cooking, but I took
this lovely picture:
