Field Trip to Gadsden

About 20 miles down the road from Yuma is the booming metropolis of Gadsden, Arizona. Well, maybe not booming, but it is on the map. Why, you may ask, should you visit the town of Gadsden? When your relatives have the last name of Gadsden, you tour Gadsden, AZ.



Here we have the Gadsden men, father & son. Its a proud moment when you get to stand i9n front of the sign for the town named after you.



The Alaska Gadsdens at the park named in their honor.



Lucas & Brandon trust their Uncle Dave at the Gadsden Amusement Park. Doesn't this look like fun??? That's what the kids thought. Brandon landed on his feet, while poor Lucas followed this moment of merriment with a face plant.



Margaret is a high school teacher in Alaska and interestingly enough teaches her students about the Gadsden Purchase. And now she has her very own school. It seems that she may have to do a little brushing up on her Spanish if she wants to make the move and teach in Arizona. Oh well, no fun in the January sun for you, back to the land of ice and snow.
