Along I-8 First image here: looking south from I-8, milepost 54: between myself and the ridge in the distance lies Southern Pacific baking, baking in the midday sun. The mountains one sees in the background here are located within the Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range, established in 1941.

The second image was taken a bit later as I drove east. I saw a westbound train coming, pulled over and squeezed off this grab-shot. The same mountain range can be seen in the background. Land acknowledgement: Yavapai Apache, O'odham Jewed, Maricopa, Cocopah, and Hia-Ced O'odham peoples.

Noah, Arizona The nearby school, Antelope Union High School accounts for the word "Antelope" on the building here. Prior to 1880 these surrounding landscape would have inhabited by the Yavapai Apache, O'odham Jewed, Maricopa, Cocopah, and Hia-Ced O'odham peoples.

The Worst Kind of Light A westbound train on the former Southern Pacific between Owl and Colfred, Arizona. The line was built through here in 1880. Prior to that, this land was inhabited by the Yavapai Apache, O'odham Jewed, Maricopa, Cocopah, and Hia-Ced O'odham peoples. The mountains one sees in the background here are located within the Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range, established in 1941.
