It is sites like these that keeps the roads between destinations interesting and enjoyable. Give me the back-roads over the interstates just about any day.

Why is a tiny
community in Pima County, Arizona. It's north of Organ Pipe Cactus
National Monument, and about thirty miles north of the Mexican
border, and ten miles south of Ajo, Arizona.
About 116 people give Why as their residence.
The name of the town comes from the fact that the two highways
made a Y-intersection. At the time of its naming, Arizona law
required all city names to have at least three letters, so the town's
founders named the town "Why". The intersection that was
the cause of the town name is no longer there.
