It’s got to be said: Jerome, AZ is weird, you will like it or hate it. Founded at the turn of the century, it was a mining town in the purest sense. It’s at about 5,200 feet clinging to the side of a mountain, often times unsuccessfully. It has been ravaged by fires several time, they are difficult to fight and often rehabilitated 25% of the town in one night!
The mine honey combs the hill side under the town. That same mine was a very productive source of Copper, Silver and Gold. It played out in the 1950’s and the town went to !sleep.
The Hippies came in the ‘70s, seems that the local gave no nevermind to what they smoked. T
hey decided to stay when they couldn’t find any gas for their bus. 
They have gotten old now, but you will recognize them by the goods in there shops which lean heavily on very nice arts and crafts, Jewelry and smoking supplies.
Several very nice grills line the hill side serving up ‘Bar Food’ and cold adult beverages. Anne-Marie is seen here entering The English Kitchen, a fixture that has great food and beer
. Note to car guys, Charger was a big block x 4.
Having a little trouble with post office, the holiday has screwed up our mail expectations. Stay Tunned
