The uniquely eroded appearance of the granite bedrock etc. along with the scattered vegetation growing out of or next to it is intriguing and beautiful.<br />I recall seeing it in John Wayne movies as well as Tex Ritter ones, but can't recall which ones from so long back.<br />The hard look is softened by the green plants/trees and against the clear blue skies I can imagine native Indian horsemen and others on foot, bow and arrow and pitch axe in hand. I can see them jump from rock to rock and hide behind the greenery as they worked their way down.<br />That's just me. Not sure what others get out of it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04297769408260281110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554001237168403114.post-55071436820090614612015-07-15T13:24:38.135-07:002015-07-15T13:24:38.135-07:00There were other buildings from early days across ...There were other buildings from early days across highway 89 that I only learned about as they were being surrounded by construction.

There were some giant inner tube platforms that we would jump from, I think. It really was a magical place. I wonder why there is no swimming there anymore.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16009954403324723684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554001237168403114.post-59027775979492230822013-09-05T12:25:06.900-07:002013-09-05T12:25:06.900-07:00Thanks for all the great nostalgic info.

I was wondering if you knew any of the other band members and if they were still alive. There is a new band around Prescott called the Prescott Playboys but none of them know or have heard of the one from the 50's. Would be great to learn a little more about the original Prescott, AZ Prescott Playboys.Porsche's Phenomenonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04723451379743120048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554001237168403114.post-80103816902848902312009-03-20T06:32:00.000-07:002009-03-20T06:32:00.000-07:00Such wonderful memories.

I vaguely recall the bathhouse. For a long part of my early life, <I>Prescott</I> was synonymous with <I>Granite Dells</I> in my mind!
