FRONT COVER"
"DESERT STORM IS APPROACHING" BY JOSEF MUENCH. 4x5 Linhof Super Tecknika camera; Ekta-chrome; f.16 at i / loth sec.; 6" Schneider Xenar lens; April, 1958; stormy sky--low late light coming in from west. Scene: along U.S. 70 between Florence and Apache Junctions. This spring afternoon was one of those which are at once the photographer's delight and despair. The lighting was from weird storms moving across the saguaro-dotted landscape; an occasional sword-thrust of sunlight pin-pointing dramatic compositions. Speed at catching the scene before it changed was essential with long wait in between. Here was an exciting place and time to be out with a camera. In the desert, where storms arc few and far between, the occasional storm that comes adds a dramatic backdrop to the scenery.

"CASTLE DOME COUNTRY" BY JACK STERLING. 4x5 Kodak Master View camera; Ektachrome; f.16 at 1/5th sec.; 13 5mm Kodak Wide Field Ektar lens with Pola-screen; October; late afternoon, clear sun. Norwood Meter 200 with slide in. Scene was photographed from U.S. 6o and 7o approximately halfway between Superior and Miami, looking northward from the highway. The photographer says: "The photograph was made one late Sunday afternoon early in October as we drove into Phoenix for our vacation. We had driven through threatening thunderstorms to the cast as far as the Salt River Canyon and as we passed through Miami and Globe the sky cleared and left the puffy white clouds so necessary for this type of shot." The Castle Dome, an open-pit copper mine where the excavations can be seen, flourished during the war. The ore-body ran out and the mine, a subsidiary of the Miami Copper Company, was abandoned.
U.S. 70, a subject to which we have the pleasure this month of devoting considerable space, is a friendly,
sunny road, well constructed, the shortest of four federal
highways crossing Arizona. "70" enters Arizona near Duncan, passes through the fertile, productive and pic-
turesque Gila Valley, joins "6o" at Globe and rambles merrily along through the Salt River Valley, then past Wickenburg and Salome, entering California at Blythe. If you are a hurrying person, "70" will take you through the state with dispatch. If you are a traveler who enjoys browsing along as you go, then "70" will introduce you to a lot of scenery, places and things, a visit to which will be both rewarding and interesting.
We recommend a few days of loafing along "70" in Graham County, with emphasis on some of the side trips discussed in our article. The friendly community of Safford, which offers everything for the comfort and pleasure of even the most discriminating traveler, would be a fine place to stay in if you are in a mood for exploring. As an artery of travel, "70" is becoming an increasingly important servant of the traveling public, and as we have been studying our maps we believe "70" coast-to-coast would be an adventure in automobile travel.
