    Sara, which questions tripped you up?

    • SaraD 5 September, 2013 at 08:46 Reply

      1. I kept thinking “Freeman” and knew it was close but incorrect, but my mind refused to dredge up the correct name.
      2. I thought of the railway but dismissed it because I thought it was revived longer ago than ’89. (Apparently, someone has monkeyed with the space-time continuum.)
      3. I had just read about him recently and have no excuse for not knowing that answer. Kicking myself.
      4. For some reason, I was thinking Gila County, not Graham. Again, kicking myself.
      10. I had never heard of the Shrine of the Ages Chapel before.

      To be honest, I should really have only partial credit for #8. My answer was Ramsey Canyon, but I didn’t include Portal and Madera because Ramsey is the one I see mentioned most often in the media.

        Well don’t kick yourself too hard. 🙂
