Elden 1978
Researching a couple days ago I came across this 1978 Elden photo. I think it'd be cool if one of the Flagstaffians could get a 2010 to compare

Re: Elden 1978
I recognize the spot and would drive over there to snap you a shot, but Elden is covered in clouds right now and it's snowing again. I'll try when the clouds clear out again!

I'll bet that the red pickup is still there...

I agree! I had a Ranger for a decade. It was indestructible.SuperstitionGuy wrote:I'll bet that the red pickup is still there...
Edit: I had a RED Ranger for a decade. I had a green one before that, and I personally destroyed it in less than a year!
I'm not sure what my spirit animal is, but I'm confident it has rabies.

Re: Elden 1978
My fam. was on vacation when this fire was burning - we were driving up past the mountain, and I remember how fascinated I was by the fire. Shoulda been a sign right there - not scared, but riveted. Still remember the smell of the vinyl seats of that '73 Chrysler Station Wagon, and the way it felt like you were riding in a Sherman tank!!! Ah - the memories!

Re: Elden 1978
Looks like it's in front of the Bun Huggers on Milton, so anyone who has come into Flag has seen that view.

Re: Elden 1978
That's just about right.
It's right there at the Bun Huggers, which was obviously formerly the site of the Safeway. There's one building on the east side of the street that is the same in both photos. Otherwise a lot has changed.
