We always enjoy Flag- very different from southern AZ. it is a remarkable town for it,s old buildings downtown,and many good restaurants, shops- and lot,s of young people due to the proximity of the university. The railroad does plow thru on cue and one can stand at the station- now a visitor center as well. More
