Happy Birthday George Washington
February 22nd, 2012
I now make it my earnest prayer, that God would have you, and the State over which you preside, in his holy protection, that he would incline the hearts of the Citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to Government, to entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another, for their fellow Citizens of the United States at large, and particularly for their brethren who have served in the Field, and finally, that he would most graciously be pleased to dispose us all, to do Justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that Charity, humility and pacific temper of mind, which were the Characteristicks of the Divine Author of our blessed Religion, and without an humble imitation of whose example in these things, we can never hope to be a happy Nation.—circular to the states, Jun. 8, 1783
No People can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand, which conducts the Affairs of men more than the People of the United States. Every step, by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation, seems to have been distinguished by some token of providential agency.—first inaugural address, Apr. 30, 1789
At a time, when our lordly masters in Great Britain will be satisfied with nothing less than the deprivation of American freedom, it seems highly necessary that something should be done to avert the stroke, and maintain the liberty, which we have derived from our ancestors.—letter to George Mason, Apr. 5, 1769
However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.—GEORGE WASHINGTON, Farewell Address, Sep. 17, 1796

Williams memories for Arizona 100th anniversary celebration
January 31st, 2012
The weather outside ain’t frightful…
January 3rd, 2012In fact, it’s quite delightful.
The weather has been very mild, this winter, with temps near sixty-degrees! It’s a great time to stop and stay with us and take a trip to the Grand Canyon with Marvelous Marv. There are less crowds to deal with this time of year so take advantage. We don’t know how long we can hold off the snow.
Longest night of the year tonight.
December 22nd, 2011And, of course, the shortest day.
Today is the Winter Solstice. That means the gradual climb toward the global warming of summer begins.
It also means only eight-days until Bearizona closes for the season. The Bearizona theme park will close January and February. Marvelous Marv tours will still be available—weather permitting and enough people wanting to go. So stop by our park and take advantage of the events of the season while you can.
We at Canyon Gateway RV Parks the the Williams Chevron wish you the Merriest of Christmas, the Happiest of Hanukkah, and the best wishes for the New Year!
Pearl Harbor Remembrance day
December 7th, 2011We take a moment to thank our remaining World War II Veterans for their service. Today, in 1941, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor drawing the United States into World War II. We celebrate those heroes on this Pearl Harbor Remembrance day.
