Bob's visit to Jerome, AZ

Bob can sight see everyday and never needs a down day.  I, on the other hand, need a day to just veg occasionally.  We had been to the Balloon Fiesta, the Meteor Crater, the Grand Canyon and now we were in Sedona and I was on sight seeing overload.  So I stayed home, enjoying a new book, "Grand Canyon Women lives shaped by landscape."  It is a wonderful book, each chapter a story of a different women who lived and worked in the Grand Canyon.  I enjoyed sitting in the sun, reading to my hearts content.

Bob went to Jerome. Jerome was a mining town established on the side of Cleopatra Hill in 1883.  We had taken a wine tasting tour the day before and our driver told us about Jerome and the 200 old trucks that was at the Ghost Town.


This is the Hotel Conner in downtown Jerome.  Bob said it had a spirit room.  There is a lot of New Age things here and in Sedona.


This is the entrance to the Ghost Town.


Bob says, "This is an old GM truck."


This is a Dodge truck.


Ever heard of an Oshkosh truck?  I thought they were overalls.


Trucks galore.  Ghost town or graveyard?


A painless dentist.


What do you think??


This picture is for Addie and Asher.  It is a Matter tow truck.

A thirsty burro.


Studebackers.

We both had a great day:)
