Friday Afternoon Adventures



Kari wanted to see Sedona. Unfortunately, road construction on the main roads through the town prevented us from actually stopping and exploring the "new age" community. We took pictures of the red rocks on the way to Sedona, stopped to eat, and then back on the road. We were on a mission, after all. You can see that gasoline was not "cheap" in this area. And roundabouts were everywhere on the new road in Cottonwood leading to Sedona.



Our mission that afternoon was to reach the pueblo ruins at Tuzigoot. These ruins were on the top of a hill overlooking a valley just to the north of the communities of Clarkville and Jerome.


Our final stop was in the mining town of Jerome, which is built on a hillside with narrow, steep, winding, one-way roads. After a little shopping and exploring, we were ready to head back to the city. You can see it was a cloudy, cool day. We used the windshield wipers on the way back because it sprinkled enough to get the windshield wet.
