Oct 13, 2012 - Fort Verde, Montezuma's Castle, Montezuma's Well

Today was a full day visiting Fort Verde State Historic Park, Montezuma's Castle, and Montezuma's Well. We walked on the land of ancient dwellings and visited the Arizona territory fort of the 1870's and 1880's. To imagine what life was like in these two very different time periods was intriguing. The Sinagua people occupied this 40-50 room house around the years 1,000 to 1,400. The reason for their departure from the dwelling (and others in the area) remains a mystery.

Oct 9, 2012 - Goodbye Utah, Hello Arizona !

Yesterday (Oct 3rd) we left Utah in our rear view mirror & pointed the truck towards Arizona. We are currently in Camp Verde & will be here till the 22nd, then its back to Picacho to settle in for the winter. We're not sure what we will be seeing while we are here, but we're sure we'll find something. We have visited this area before, who knows...we might have missed something. Our trip here took us up Hwys 163 south, Hwy 160 west, Hwy 89 south, I-40 west, I-17 south to Hwy 240 south. We are staying at Zane Grays RV Park, it is very nice...

Sep 30, 2012 - Camp Verde, Arizona

9/30 The last day of the month found us parked at the Cliff Castle Casino parking lot in Camp Verde, Arizona after traveling 179 miles (US89A, US89, I-40, I-17). First it was uphill to Flagstaff and then back down again. The elevation of Camp Verde is about 4000 feet which makes it is a bit warmer than the Flagstaff area. This month the house traveled 1,254 miles and our Jeep traversed another 345 miles.

Jun 24, 2012 - Camp Verde (Sedona)

De Phoenix AZ à Camp Verde AZ Distance parcourrue 80 milles Campground Distant Drums (Indian owned) PA Quel campground!!! Super organisé, propre belle clientèle. L'attrait touristique le plus intéressant est certainement la ville de Sedona et ses montagnes multicolores. Avant d'arriver a Sédona du sud ou de l'est, le paysage et très monotone et d'une courbe à l'autre le paysage devient féérique. Une beauté qui peut dificilement être décrite avec des mots,,, voyez plutot les photos incluse pour comprendre. Une autres attraction touristique...

Apr 20, 2012 - Day 2... Spring Rally

Spent most of today just 'relaxing', took a short drive to "Montezuma's Well" National Monument where we enjoyed seeing a really remarkable natural geographic site that was formed millions of years ago.. About 900 AD historians suspect that this area was inhabited by nomadic native americans that lived and thrived there for about 500 years. Clik here..for info> Montezuma's Well Again we both remarked about how difficult it must have been to live "back in the day", Tonite is the annual "White Elephant Gift Exchange"... should be fun to see...

Mar 25, 2012 - Camp Verde, AZ

We left Mexico and had an easy border crossing. They only asked if we had any booze. We drove to Gila Bend, AZ and spent the night. Our washer/dryer had broken in Mexico and Susan got on the phone and ordered the new parts. They will be delivered to our RV park in Texas. The next morning we drove north up to Camp Verde. We spent 3 nights there so we could visit with Dave and Trish Woods. We forgot to take some photos. Mostly we just hung out, but we did go out to dinner once. They let us use there washer so we got all the clothes done. Dave...

Oct 27, 2011 - Back to the Start

We have come full circle and are in the same campground we started in when we left Mesa. We had gone through their 90 minute presentation when they tried to sell us a membership in their resort. We didn’t buy, but ended up with a free camping certificate for 50 nights camping. The only problem is you only get so many in each zone and the only zone we will be using is this one. We have 4 free nights coming and we paid for the other 2 nights so we can stay here and not have to move again until we head to the valley. We got here at 11:45 and...

Oct 27, 2011 - Sedona

We drove to Sedona today. The mountains are mostly red and so unique. We shopped, had lunch and drove around through the mountains to get a closer look. I hope my pictures will load and you can see some of the views. Butch called his Uncle Cornell today. We will be in Phoenix tomorrow. I think Cornell sounded real excited to see Butch.
