Question ID: 106928
Which back issues of Arizona Highways magazine contain features on the
Lakes Mead and/or Mojave areas?  By 'feature', I mean at least a
3-page article and photographs, not just a by-line.  Please provide
the month(s) of issue.

Clarification of Question by statestraveller-ga on 13 Nov 2002 09:18 PST
Thanks for the comment - I should have clarified this in the question.
 On calling customer service, I was politely informed that since I
don't know which back issue I need, they would have to initiate a
search request.  This being their busy season, such a request could
take 4-6 weeks.  I will be in the Lake Mead area for Thanksgiving -
can't wait that long!

The web site for Arizona Highways magazine includes helpful indexes of
subjects covered in back issues.

"Arizona Highways: Magazine Reference List"

The index of Places is particularly useful for your purposes.

"Reference Index: Places Category"
Arizona Highways
http://www.arizonahighways.com/GeneralInfo/magrefPLACES.html

There is nothing in that index for the term "Mojave", though perhaps
you'll find places associated with the Mojave by browsing through the
index.  (I'm not too familiar with Mojave geography, so I'm not sure
which place names to look for.)

But there are three references under "Lakes" for Lake Mead.  The
article for June 1994 appears on pages 14-19, and I would be surprised
if an article that long did not contain pictures.  (I presume that the
articles for the other two dates are shorter, so they might not be as
useful, though you can check them just in case.)

Here is a list of resellers of Arizona Highways back issues (which may
or may not be available from the magazine itself).

"Resellers of Arizona Highways Magazines"

You may be able to find back issues as well at a major Arizona
library, such as the Phoenix Public Library, which is listed on the
left side of the Places index.

Well, check that out!  I wonder why the customer service people didn't
point me to that part of their site when I asked them 'Is there any
other way this search could be accomplished?'  Thanks!

Their customer service contact info is there, if you wish to give them
a call, they probably would be more than happy to tell you what you're
looking for because it's business for them.
