What a wonderful day. Headed out for sightseeing Went to Montezuma Castle, the farmers built a 5 story- 20 room dwelling sometime between 1000-1300. This is 100 feet above the valley. They use Beaver creek to supply water for the gardens. You are not allowed to go up to the dwelling, but you can get a good look from the path. They also used the trees for food and medicine. We then headed for Cornville to check out a RV Park that is an RPI and ROD which was in Page Springs, AZ.. on the way we saw 2 buck 1 doe trying to cross the highway, from there we went to Tuzigoot this dwelling was occupied between 1100-1425 AD it was a thriving community they people were called Sinagua. The rooms are empty but a lot of the walls are still standing. You can go up on top and look out over at the remaining walls. Of Course, we only a few miles from Jerome so here we go. It reminded us of an old hippy left overs. Went thru Jerome into the King Gold Mine...a ghost town. There is a little gift shop and a back door $5.00 (Please) to go see a bunch of old rusty cars...So we left and drove down the hill and saw a different bunch of rusty old cars and trucks. We stopped in Jerome for lunch and walked the town. Had enough so we headed back to the M/H.
