Rock Menagerie on Route 89 
I enjoyed your short story on “skull rock” just north of Congress, Ariz. (September/October, page 20). It reminded me of Frog Rock, just a stone’s throw north, also on State Route 89. Local lore has it that a homesteader’s wife thought the sixty-ton rock formation looked “froggy,” so she painted it green way back in 1928.

Your knowledge of zoomorphic monoliths is on par with that of Sam Lowe, who wrote up said frog in our March/April 2008 edition (page 22).

Team Transplant
I was surprised that your November/December article on Oklahoma (page 36) did not mention that the NBA team from Seattle has relocated to Oklahoma City. It was a bitter deal to move the team, the news reported.

No Tauck Talks in Tucson
The November/December edition of Highroads offers very little for Tucson AAA members.  Do you really expect Tucson residents to drive to Phoenix to learn more about travel opportunities? I personally would be interested in learning more about Tauck Tours and Cruise Expo opportunities and am disappointed that Tucson is omitted from their schedules.
