Walnut Canyon is located 10 miles southeast of Flagstaff. It was made a National Monument on November 30, 1915, by President Woodrow Wilson to preserve the ancient cliff dwellings. In the rock, cliffs are formations of former homes of the Sinagua people. These are the same people who also occupied and lived at Montezuma’s Castle. …

On Sunday, February 14th I spent most of the day at Goldfield Ghost Town. Goldfield sits between the Superstition and Goldfield Mountains. Goldfield got its start in 1892 when very rich, high-grade gold ore was found in the area. A town was soon developed and on October 7, 1893, it received its first official post …
I arrived on the outskirts of Tombstone on January 31, 2016, at Tombstone RV Park. What a nice RV park and nice people who are so friendly and so willing to help make your stay with them and in Tombstone an experience to remember. Now when I got here I was in for a big surprise …
