On The Road Again!

We are so blessed to have the time to see

 these ancient civilizations in Arizona. On a two week

vacation we would have drove right past.

Montezuma Castle National Monument
A five-story 20 room dwelling.

It was awesome to hear Harry Seavey, a Native Flute player 

while we walked around. Notice the bag on his right 

which has several different flutes. 

I love how he signed his CD. "Hug yourself with music"

The flute echoed throughout the whole place and was so special.

Just down the road is Montezuma Well
Who would of though about having a pool
right outside your home?

A continuously flowing spring. 

Not what you expect to see in the desert.

A few miles down the road is Tuzigoot National Monument 

Standing on top you can see the rooms in both directions.

It is two stories high with a total of 110 rooms which were 

accessed through the roof by ladders.

The Sinagua people picked a stunning location 

where they had a 360 view of Verde Valley.

As soon as we entered you could feel the temperature drop 

and see the great use of materials to build their homes.

 Some of the pottery they recovered in the excavation.

As we left Tuzigoot you see a "J" in the mountain.
Well, of course we have to go and find out what that is all about.
After several hairpin turns we arrived in Jerome.
Thankfully we were driving the car
because this is a road we couldn't bring the RV.
 It is an old mining town that is now occupied by
an artsy community.
Scott and I immediately though of Bisbee, Arizona.
Homes scrunched together on hillsides, little shops,
and an eclectic group of people. We were there on a Saturday
so there were lots of people walking around enjoying the
fabulous sunny weather here in Arizona!
