SHOWING MORE OF WHERE I'M FROM

[Nortoon_imp]

I was wondering why this modern town popped up in the middle of the desert. But the earth view of Google Maps shows the dam and lake.

I had a friend Scott Merritt move to Arizona in the 70s. All the bikers here hated to see him go because he ran a machine shop that specialized in customizing motorcycles. Apparently his father managed a marina on a man made lake in Arizona and invited Scotty to join him. Scotty bought an old yellow school bus, gutted the interior, and moved all his shop machinery south. He must have liked it, because we never heard from him since.
