RETURN TO ASH FORK cont. Page 22

The final destinations on the tour were the flagstone quarries north of town. We

crossed the tracks and headed for the White Elephant, Geronimo and Santa

Cruz. As I glanced back at Ash Fork nestled amid green leaves and blossoms of

spring, I began to see beauty in G.B.'s beloved woebegon little town.

A few hours later at the Santa Cruz quarry, G.B. proposed marriage to me. I

accepted, and soon after, London, Ludwig and I followed G.B., who was towing a

pink travel trailer, one hundred fifty miles south into the low desert north of

Phoenix, where I could paint.
