Ruby is a small incorporated town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, United States, located about 60 miles northeast of the state capital of Baton Rouge and adjacent to the Mississippi border, and characterized by a quiet rural atmosphere and a deep community culture. Sparsely populated, with fewer than 500 people according to the most recent census, the town dates back to the late 1800s and, with its early rise to an agricultural economy (e.g., cotton and soybean farming), still retains the rustic look of a traditional Southern town. The town's landmarks include a century-old community church and several Victorian-style homes, and the annual fall "Ruby Family Day," which blends elements of local Cajun and Creole culture, has become a shared memory for the surrounding residents. Despite its small size, Ruby epitomizes the serenity of the American countryside with its simple folk and distinctive Louisiana southern flavor.
Located in Pinal County, Arizona, USA, about 112 kilometers north of Tucson, Mammoth is a town known for its mining history and natural beauty. Founded in the late 1800s, the town sprang up as a result of nearby copper mining and still retains a distinctive look from its pioneer days in the West. Surrounded by the Tucca Spruce State Forest and the Coronado National Forest, Mamers has an abundance of outdoor resources, making it an ideal destination for hikers, campers, birdwatchers, and off-road enthusiasts. During the winter months, the nearby Maliwapi Mountain Ski Resort attracts many visitors, and in the summer months, the cool, high-altitude climate makes it a summer vacation destination. Despite its sparse population, Mammoth offers a different side of Arizona from the desert image with its simple people and magnificent natural beauty.
