Arizona

I've been really bad about taking pictures and posting since we got to Arizona. We took two other road trips: one to Willcox and back through the Gila River Valley and the other to Quartsite and back through Wickenburg. Both trips were really good trips and we saw a lot of pretty country.

 Sunrise from front window in Phoenix. We are sure enjoying the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We've had way too many sunny, cloudless days this winter.

 We see a lot of balloons from the RV Park. They take off from the desert north of the RV Park.

 Drive between Prescott and Jerome. Really curvy road. We went from 1600 feet to over 7000 feet on the drive!

 Looking down toward the valley where Jerome is located. That's snow on the mountain in the distance! The mountain is north of Flagstaff. Flagstaff is about 70 miles north of where I took the picture.

 Verde Valley from the top of the hill into Jerome. It's a really beautiful valley. There is a train ride around the valley that we may have to go back to experience.

 More windy road. Lost track of the switch backs!

 The town below! This is really Cottonwood, Jerome is on the hillside below this hill.

 Jerome is build right on the side of the hill. Narrow streets with lots of really old buildings on a really steep hill!

 Looking back at Jerome on the hill after going around a few switchbacks.

The mine in Jerome was a copper mine. We got to go through the "Museum Store" and see lots of antique copper things. I got a tea pot that's really pretty. We think we'll go to the Mesa Flea Market next weekend. Should be fun!
