Parker, Arizona


The town of Parker, AZ, lies entirely within reservation land belonging to the Colorado River Indian Tribes.  This is a link to some information about the town.  Pay particular attention to the average temperature and precipitation information.  On Saturday, I think we experienced the April rain quota which, by my estimate, appeared to be about 5 to 10 drops per square inch; just enough to turn our already very dirty car into a very, very ugly, dirty car.

Parker is a town of surprisingly broad streets and mostly very nicely kept buildings, but, like so many other places these days, there are many shops, etc., that are unoccupied due to the state of the economy.  This link will take you to a few photos from around town.
