GREASEWOOD FLATS



One more tidbit about Scottsdale and then back to reality. John has always wanted to go to Greasewood Flat and on the first day we were there we did stop for lunch before attacking the Apache Trail. Greasewood Flat is a bar basically. There is a steakhouse restaurant next door that was a stagecoach stop in the 1880's. The bar is very unique. It is all outdoors with outhouse restrooms. They serve hamburgers, hotdogs etc. The hamburgers were very good. One of the desk clerks at the condo complex we were staying at owns 1/4 of Greasewood Flat. Apparently his grandfather owned all of it and he and his brother were given a quarter share each. When asked why he did not work there, he replied that his grandfather did not want him hanging around there. It has been stated that the people that come there arrive on motorcycles, horseback and in mercedes. Quite a colorful place and fun to go to. Well that takes care of my last vacation. I have a lot of work coming in and hopefully will be able to add to this now and then.
