Beautiful Downtown Metropolitan Ehrenberg
Ehrenberg, Arizona. It's a little gas station town where I10 crosses the Colorado River. It has a nice truck stop where you can get gas a whole lot cheaper than in California. When I was a kid my grandparents would take me with them to Ehrenberg to buy lottery tickets, because back then California didn't have a state lottery. In Ehrenberg there's a little cemetary, a 'boot hill' if you like. It's a historical landmark now.
Take a closer look at the rock on top of the tower. It has glyphs on it! I figure some well meaning soul thought it would make a great pinnacle to a great monument.
Before I go on a witch hunt here, I think I'll make a few phone calls and find out if there wasn't some type of exemption or special circumstance that permitted this. If not, I hope to make this an example of 'what not to do.' I'm certainly not going to ask anyone to take it down.
Of course, I could just be spinning my wheels. Maybe someone else has already tackled this issue and an agreement already met. I'll post updates here on my blog.
