Twin Arrows Trading Post - Ruins

Just went by Twin Arrows. The concrete barriers are still there, and the old trading post building is dilapidated, but the arrows are looking pretty good.

Fun stop. Too bad someone couldn't come in and reopen it.

Twin Arrows Trading Post

You can't pull into the Twin Arrows Trading Post parking lot at all now. The trading post is long closed down and they have concrete barriers all around. Can't even pull over to do a picture.

... though we have recent reports of the arrows restored. Perhaps they're not ready to open for business...
