The Picacho Peak Trading Post, Picacho Peak, Arizona, burned to the ground after an electrical problem started a fire on the night of November 16, according to investigators. The Trading Post was a well-known stop visible from I-10 between Phoenix and Tucson.
The great collection of souvenirs and gifts was destroyed. Tragically, the large fiberglass Indian that beckoned with a brave salute to motorists was also lost. All that remained were the foot stumps and burnt arms.
