The Yavapai County Courthouse
Freezing temperatures are predicted this weekend for much of the territory along historic Highway 89. It's time to harvest the last of the tomatoes. Might see some pumpkin patches dusted with snow. Even Phoenix is going to be unseasonably temperate, below 80 degrees. Break out the golf clubs! Or snow shovels, depending on where you find yourself on America's greatest highway.
