On Thursday we repositioned from Benson, AZ to Cottonwood, AZ. About 50 miles N/West of Tucson the desperately flat landscape offered up what can only be described as an aircraft junk yard. This photo is taken from about 3 miles away, there are hundreds of air liners there.
I’ve mentioned the unique Arizona Bridge Art, I suggest you follow this link to see much better photos than I can take. They are a very welcome diversion while on the long distance trips we make out here.
We had about 150 miles of seriously hills before we arrived at our Thousand Trails destination of Verde Valley Campground. We will stay here until May 30th when we will move to a Federal Park adjacent to The Grand Canyon.
On Friday we drove up to Sedona, Az. At first look it was impressive due to the fact it overlooks Red Rock State Park.
The ‘Loop Road’ is as it’s name implies a 5 mile loop with about the best views. Lots of folks have built very nice homes to take advantage of the views.
We did not take a ‘Jeep Trip’. The anticipated compressive forces would not taken kindly by the old spines we have been abusing for several years. About 10 years ago, we were given a ride on a water tube pulled by a power boat on Lake Winnipesauke, took us 6 months to recover!
Tuzigoot National Monument, is a reconstruction of an ancient pueblo. At 90° and 5,000’ of altitude, I found it a struggle to get to the top. I’m betting there were damn few 67 year old fat guys helping when they built it.
Tomorrow, I’ll take you to Jerome, AZ a born again Ghost Town.
