MONTEZUMA'S CASTLE & WELL

Yesterday, we played tourist, and took Nancy to  Montezuma's Castle, and Montezuma's Well.  These two National Monuments are in the Verde Valley, and not too far from where we're parked at the Thousand Trails.  This is about the 3rd, or 4th time we've been to the Castle, and the 2nd time at the well.  Native Americans built the castle around 1,000 AD, and used the spring water from the well to irrigate their crops.  From the well, we returned to the motor homes, took the dogs for a walk, then drove over to Prescott.

The girls headed for a fabric store, and I stopped by one of my favorite gun stores, J&G Sales.  This is one of the largest gun dealers in the U.S., advertising in every issue of Shotgun News, and shipping merchandise all over the globe.  The next gun on my radar is a Ruger Mini 14, but after just spending a whole bunch of money on a tractor, I decided to hang on to the bucks for lots of future projects at the new place in Tucson.

This morning, we're packing up, and driving back to Lake Havasu City.  There's a long list of things to do, as Patty & Nancy prepare for their 2 week trip to Hawaii, and I pack a few things to take to Tucson.  It's still 100+ degrees in our city by the lake, and after a summer of cooler temps, we still have a few more weeks of hot weather before it starts to cool off.  We're looking forward to returning to our home, and also looking forward to starting a new chapter in Tucson.
