A CASTLE IN THE SKY

This morning, we're packing up and getting ready to caravan back home to Lake Havasu. I'll be driving the motor home, pulling the trailer. Patty's driving the jeep and Bob & Diana are driving their pickup, pulling their motorcycle trailer. Yesterday, we played tourists without the Harley's, and visited two National Monuments in the Verde Valley. Montezuma's Castle & Montezuma's Well are both early native American sites that are protected by the National Park Service. When you look up at the castle, I'm sure the first question that most people must ask, is how in the world did they get up there? The answer is several ladders, which they simply pulled up at night, and then were completely isolated from any potential dangers. The well which Patty & I had not previously visited, was much larger than I anticipated. This sink hole is fed by a natural spring that pumps over a million gallons of water daily into the well. The water flows out through a cave, and feeds the creek that travels by the castle about 10 miles downstream. We finished the day at Johnny Rockets in Cliff Castle Casino, enjoying some of the best hamburgers known to man! Everybody knows that I could live on hamburgers, and on many solo trips to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, did just that. The hamburgers at Johnny Rockets are right up there with the best.
