Full-time Arizona residents frequent Northern Arizona to "cool off". This week's graph picture was taken in Starlight Pines. Located on the Mogollon Rim near Clint Wells, Starlight Pines is a popular community in which many west valley residents buzz "up north" to get out of the blistering weather. A few days ago two Sun City Grand residents joined me on my day off for the day trip. We ate breakfast in Happy Jack, visited Blue Ridge Reservoir and enjoyed 78 degrees in the pines. After antique shopping in Payson we proceeded home after an exceptional day off.
