We have been hiking Heritage sights in the Sedona area: Montezumas Castle, Montezumas Well and Palatki.
Above is Montazuma Castle and then Arizona Sycamore trees that look as thought the bark has been removed and the trunks painted white.
Montezumas Well is an interesting sight and a relatively easy hike.
Yesterday, my horoscope said an intense spiritual experience would be possible for me so I definitely wanted to visit a vortex area. Unfortunately it ended up involving quite a hike. But what a view!
Yesterday we visited the Palatki sight. It is awesome to be climbing the base of a few of the tall towers and visit sights that had been inhabited by earliest civilizations of the area. Again the views are breathtaking.
Weather has been dictating our travels all along and it continues. A winter storm hit north of here, so we are headed south tomorrow to Quartzite, Az. We hear there is a hot air balloon festival there this weekend.

There are a lot of RV models here. We had fun looking at the different layouts and we each chose a favorite. But,the RV show is a little disappointing. I was interested in a bedding system that makes making an rv bed easier; but they are not here. I was expecting a lot of RV organization ideas, but other than plastic food storage it's all about connectivity, solar power, work/stay opportunities, and assorted pain relief (that does tempt me). But we did get literature on electronic locking. Charlie is having a great time playing ball in a big, dry clean area. There is no photo editing in this photo. The colors are beautiful. However, in the next photo I did edit to try to show the colors more accurately. The moon was orange and the night sky was deep blue around the moon and fading higher in the sky. It was really gorgeous and I wish I could have a true photo of it as it was. And Bob says "Hi"

There are tons more people here than last year. Bob and I expect sensory overload with the RV show on one side of the road and Gem and Rock show on the other! But, we did not visit anything yesterday. We filled up water and gas then picked a spot and set up camp. Charlie was very happy. He was finally able to play ball until he was totally worn out. It had been raining and this beautiful rainbow formed as we set up camp. We both love the desert mountain landscape and this sunset was gorgeous! I found a schedule of events that we plan to go to over the next few days. Hopefully, everything anyone could need to make an RV trip comfortable; I have a list. And, there are RV's set up all over town that we can look at if we have time. And then across the street to find some pretty rocks to make pretty jewelry.

These photos give an idea of how immense the gem and rock shows here are. This is just one venue and all of Tucson is scattered with them. It is overwhelming. We were impressed with these metal sculpters and really surpised to learn that the artist builds them in 4 days! On the road to White Sands and the Oliver Lee State Park.And then sunset from the campground. We are making our way east. Tonight we are back in Roswell at the Red Barn RV park.
