What is Munds Park "known" for?

The following editorial comments do not necessarily represent the opinion of anyone other than the author (editor) [see the .sig dated June 5, 2016]. However, IMHO, they might happen to represent the opinions of many persons in Arizona, who occasionally drive on I-17, to or from Flagstaff.

The "[blockquote]"-ed part of these comments is based upon the most recent version of the article -- (that is, the Latest revision as of 01:44, 27 June 2015 version of the article) -- "as of" June 5, 2016, which is when this section was added to the "Talk:" page.

The article contains ("as of" the date mentioned above) the assertion that

Munds Park is widely regarded for its variety of outdoor recreation opportunities in all seasons.

The above "[blockquote]"-ed sentence does not agree with my records.

All of my friends -- except for one guy and his wife, who have a trailer (or "mobile home") in Munds Park -- know "nothing" of Munds Park except for the fact that it contains a trailer (or "mobile home") park, that one passes when going on I-17 to or from Flagstaff.

In fact, among those friends of mine, most of them "usually" drive right past the trailer (or "mobile home") park in Munds Park without even stopping, unless a passenger or someone is hungry or has to go to the bathroom, or needs to buy gas... and, since Munds Park is so close to Flagstaff -- ((only "24 min (20.9 mi) via I-17", according to Google (Maps)!)) -- some of them drive right past it even if one such "stopping reason" does apply ... if it is not too urgent.

Hence, among this un-scientific sample, of people's attitudes towards Munds Park, the only thing that the place is "widely regarded for", is: having a trailer (or "mobile home") park, (visible from the highway), that is right near I-17, about 21 miles from Flagstaff, which one passes -- typically without even stopping -- when driving on I-17 south of Flagstaff.

IMHO, even some "usually reliable" sources tend to rely on the attitudes of people who work for "P.R." firms or tourist information bureaus, when talking (or writing) about what a certain place is [supposedly] "widely regarded for".

In some cases (and I think this might be one) the exaggeration could stand to be toned down a notch. Just my 0.02. YMMV.

Any comments? --Mike Schwartz (talk) 18:39, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
