National Monuments, Sedona, and Jerome, Cottonwood, AZ - November 21, 2016

Besides wanting to pick up another Thousand Trails park on our list, we wanted to see this area and visit with Sherry Collins, a RV Dreamer we met at a rally in Harrisburg, OR back in 2012. Unfortuantly, she was under the weather so our meet up will have to wait till next time. Get well soon Sherry, and happy birthday today!

We did spend the day, Saturday, doing the 'tourist' thing.

First, we headed for Montezuma Castle N.M.

Pretty awesome looking at the ancient ruins. The weather was perfect today, and of course we played Pokemon Go on our phones all day long too.

Then on to another N.M., Montezuma's Well.

People even lived in the caves above the water.

Ancient cliff dwellers.

An amazing watering hole here in the desert.

The third N.M. for the day was at Tuzigoot N.M.


On top of the hill,

It sure is neat that this place has been made a National Monument. What a history lesson we have had today.

Then we drove through Sedona. This is such a beautiful area. A camera just can't capture what our eyes see.

The scenery here is awesome in all directions. Many resorts, good hiking, cool shops, we definately will spend more time here, and visit Sherry, next time through.

The next day, we drove up to Jerome. At first, I thought it was just an old mining town.

Then in the middle of town, there were the neat little shops and all the 'ghost' town placards. A lot of history here, and a fun little town too.


Scooter Trash - An Eclectic Mix of Random Objects.  A cool name or what!

Some of the old building ruins.

This old bank is accepting deposits. If you look close, there are many coins down there.

The 'Ghost 'town theme abounds.

The Haunted Hamburger.

Then we hit Walmart in Cottonwood on the way back home. Donna did some laundry and some sewing this day, and I am watched the Seahawks win their football game. And rain is coming.

Today, we had thought about leaving and heading to the Yuma area, but the storm is here. There is rain, thunder & lightning too! A good day to chill, catch up on my blogs, and tinker around the RV.

Maybe I will work on the annual Ferguson Christmas newsletter and get ready to get our Christmas cards ready to go out. Yep, we do that.

Our next move will be tomorrow, when the weather improves. We will be taking the 101 Loop around Pheonix. Another new route for us.

Stay tuned....
