Hello everyone!!!! We had a wonderful time in Arizona.We started in Wilcox in the SE area. This is a very small western town with friendly people. We camped at the local Elks Lodge and walked into town. From there, we took a day trip down to Tombston e. Very interesting and commercial.Enjoyed seeing the historical buildings, OK corral, courthouse,and had a beer in the saloon owned by Doc Holiday's wife.
Next stop was Tucson where we spent 4 days. We went to the Deset Museum,Sagauro National Forrest.We met some people at the Elk's who were RVers and they wanted us to stay another week and go on a trip with them to a lake. That was not part of our itenerary!
From Tucson we went to Apachie Junction . That was a small town east of Phoenix, at the base of Superition Mountain. We then moved north of Phoenix and took a day trip to Carefree and Cave Creek. Both very upscale and beautiful.
Sedona was our net stop.We stayed at the Elk's Lodge with a million dollar view. Sedona is now very upscale but the views are spectacular.We stayed 4 days and met 3 other couples from Florida. We took a train ride on the Verde Canyon Railway. So Beautiful!!We also took a quicktrip up to Jerome,a town built on the side of a mountain. This was a mining town in the early 1900's and is now a artist haven at 6000ft elevation.
Williams was our next stop. Williams is a historical town 30miles west of Flagstaff. We went to the Grand Canyon on a day trip. We walked most 0f the North Rim. Very spectacular!!
Last stop in Arizona was Kingman, noted most for it's South West Museum and very nice people. We traveled from the SE corner of the state to the NE corner and really enjoyed all.I'll send pictures in another email.if MY COMPUTER WILL LET ME!!!
Next stop was Las Vegas!!! We stayed in our friend Joan's driveway. We stayed 6 days having a blast!! We did the tourist bit for one day on the strip.On Saterday we all went up to Charleston Mtn., elevation 7000+ ft.Had lunch ata a neat restaurant with magnificant views.
