One of the beautiful rock monuments in Sedona
Sister (Vera Jean), chaperone (Amy the dog), and I hiked to the famous Bell Rock; photo taken at over half way there.
Amazing - Chapel built into rock.
At Jerome - We're standing on steps leading from one street to the street below/above. We are standing a little above street level, behind us you can see two streets up! (click on photos to enlarge)

(click on photos to enlarge)OH MY GOSH we had soooo much fun! We had two rain days – a good thing – it gave us time to recoup and recover.
We took a day trip south and east of Phoenix and another day trip south and west of Phoenix to visit the ruins of long ago abandoned communities. We drove through the stunning Sonoran Desert that is even more beautiful this year due to the unusual amount of rain it has received.
We also spent two full days exploring Sedona, Oak Creek Canyon and the surrounding areas of Jerome (old mining town clinging to the mountain side) and more ancient ruins at Tuzigoot and Montezuma Castle.
We laughed and talked and talked and laughed and drove and stopped and took photos and ate and ate some more and…. In other words, we had a wonderful adventure and enjoyed every minute of it.

Hello, Julene! I'm so glad you commented on my blog. I drove by your house last week and thought, "I wonder how Julene's doing. I should stop by." I may just do that someday soon!
Hi Julene ~ That whole area around & including Sedona is remarkable geologically. I haven't see the ruins in that area but have seen the geology all over the SW. Nothing could be prettier. I haven't seen that chapel built into the cliffs! Wow. What a feat to build that. Glad you had a fun trip. Amy (the person)
