A week around Cottonwood, AZ

We went to the 1000 Trails in Cottonwood, AZ called Verdi Valley. We stayed in a cabin, but we were here with the kids on our half year trip in 1987.

No picture (of course), but we tied up with an old friend and teacher, Duane Vild. He came up from Tucson to meet us. It was really good to see him after..........40+ years!!!

We hiked and really liked the red rocks.

This was our first Cactus League spring training game. We've been to Florida Citrus League games before. The Padres creamed the Cubs.

In Sedona we visited the really nice and natural  Catholic Church on the hill.

Spectacular views................

Another day, we went to Jerome. We had a great, scenic lunch at the Grand Hotel.

Stopped in to see a woodworker, Lonnie Anderson, and ended up having the "ghost tour".

On the way out of Jerome, we stopped at the old high school and met the artists,  Robin John Anderson.............

and his wife and potter, Margo Mandette.

We loved their work and bought a few pieces.........And, it turns out our neighbor, Duane (and Joan) actually lived in  Jerone and even stayed with his Grandparents in an apartment in the high school, since they were the custodians........small world!!!

Later in the week, we stopped in on an Arizona  flywheel meet in Cottonwood. I loved it.........Carol...???
