    Umm, Saguaro is no longer a monument. It’s a National Park and has been for years.

    I kind of got #6 wrong because, as Angus S-F pointed out, Saguaro is no longer a nat’l monument. It became a national park in 1994 (I looked it up), Bill Clinton made it so.

    I missed #16. My parents used to live in Fountain Hills, so shame on me.

    I question #20. If the mine is lost, no one can say it’s actually in Sno-ta-hay Canyon. 😉

    Unfortunately, Pinnacle Peak Patio (#1) closed in the summer of 2015, so I reckon you can wear whatever you want, there, now. 🙁
