Taking Hwy 82 A out of Flagstaff was one of the
best moves Mike has done lately, the view of the mountains, Indian
reservation and then to see the North Rim of the Grand Canyon was
spectacular, the first picture when you click on the Thumbnail you
will see Mt. Snowball Flagstaff in the background what a site
|
I had Mike stop several times so I could take
pictures, the color of the cliffs and mountains were like seeing a
Rainbow with all of the reds, purples and greens every color in the
spectrum was represented
The Navajo Indian Reservation

Fourth or 5th stop taking pictures of the North
Rim

Fort Verde in Camp Verde, AZ was a base for General
Crook's U.S. Army scouts and soldiers in the 1870's and 1880's. Some
of the original buildings still stand.
 |
In August 1865 a tent camp was established overlooking the farms at
West Clear Creek, 1868 the name of the camp (Camp Lincoln) was
renamed to Camp Verde. The Army's main duty was to put and
keep the Indians on the San Carlos and Fort Apache reservations.

Sedona, Arizona
About 46 miles south of Flagstaff and
118 north of Phoenix. The pictures do not due justice to the
scenery as the rocks are red with greens, purples and cooper running
through them. Sedona is well known not only for the color of the rocks but for the artist living in and around the area
|
We ate at Shangla's Restaurant where
the view was fantastic click on the picture too see the view
Chapel Hill,
here a chapel sits in bedded in the side of this rock cliff Sedona promotes health and well being ( there are a lot of crystal shops) It lies at the mouth of Oak Creek Canyon with towering Red canyons from ancient deposits of limestone, mudstone and sandstone. An 1.8 million acre Coconino National forest is included in the encompass of Sedona |

Camp Verde Founded in 1865 The town is small and is along the Verde River, our RV park is right on the river
|
It is high desert and windy all of the time but
cool so it is comfortable for April
|
Cottonwood is about 10 min away and has all of
the shopping ( including Wally Mart, Home depot)
|

Tubac an artist community founded in the late 1700's Tubac at one time was a quiet little town, the original church still stands old adobe homes are renovated and has become one of the largest Artist communities in the southwest if you are ever come to Tucson a trip to Tubac is a must, |
 
It is about 53 miles south of Tucson and around February 6th the
town is full of artist from California, New Mexico, Arizona and
Colorado make plans early in an RV park or you won't find any room
any where as it is held the same time the Gem show is in town.

 Aqua Linda Farms, Amado Az
|
 Peaceful, and a working farm with fresh meat, vegetables and lots of gourds for crafts. I could have stayed here all day it was so quiet and with the fire burning in under the veranda we could just picture ourselves with a margarita and never leaving |
 Fran is purchasing honey made by the bees here around the farm. |

Amado Territory is an Artist ranch, it use to be a large Cattle ranch and now has been rebuilt to be Artists Studios an Inn, cafe and a restaurant. It is beautifully done. The old ranch house still has the running water fall and it a joy to set out and watch the wild birds while eating. |

Today (12/14/06) we decided to visit Tombstone AZ 
|
 Stetson the oldest mercantile in Tombstone still sells Stetson hats, this is where we bought Mike his Australian hat  |
 This was a great site Christmas in Tombstone, makes you wonder what it was like in the 1800's, I am sure that there was not the kind of merchandise that there is today and I wonder if they really would have put a tree in the middle of town?  |
