Todays trip to Jerome reminded me of Bisbee. This funky little town sits half way up the Mingus mountain at 5023 feet and like Bisbee was a copper mining town. The difference is each resident and business has a spectacular view of the Verde Valley. We had a tasty hamburger and drove over the mountain pass. At it's highest point, the pass hits 7023 feet and has a winter coating of clean white snow. 15 miles and 150 curves in our little car was quite a drive.
On our way back to the campground we noticed a national monument, Tuzigoot so we stopped take a look. As we climbed the ruins I noticed that our campground was just across the river. I had taken a picture of the ruins the evening before. The ruins were home to the Sinagua Indians around 700 AD. Tomorrow, Sedona, I hope Gary can take all the galleries.
Just a reminder, you can enlarge a picture by clicking on it.
