Still Relaxing in Prescott Arizona

Well, here we are, still relaxing in Prescott Arizona.  The weather is almost perfect, with the afternoon temps getting up to around 75-80 and dropping to around 40 in the evening.  Just right for sleeping.
 
We took a road trip up to Jerome, an old mining town up in the hills.  Rumor has it that it is haunted, and many people have told us stories about strange ghostly sightings.  We didn't see any ghosts, but we are sure glad we didn't have the wheelhouse with us.  The road through the town was really narrow and windy.

 The road on the left is the main highway through town, and the road on the right goes up to the old hospital that has been converted to a hotel.

 The Hospital that has been converted into a hotel.  There have been many ghost sightings there.
 
 
 
We plan to return to Jerome this week to checkout a few of the mines, and to pursue the sighting of a ghosts.

Last Friday evening we went to downtown Prescott, to check out Whiskey Row.  A lot of history here around the Old West.  Somehow Steve totally forgot all about moderation, and doesn't remember much of the evening.  He had a lot of FUN, dancing and visiting with locals, but it took a couple of days to recover fully.
 

 
 
Below is just one of the salons we visited.  The bar was huge, and there was a group of gunslingers hanging around have a few cold ones.  Yes, they were all packing weapons, some pistols and a couple of swords.  And it wasn't even Halloween.


 

We plan to return to the downtown area sometime this week to check it out more closely.  Moderation will be paramount for Steve.


Now that the elections are over, and we can finally use our brain for more important things, here is something to ponder.

Till Next Time....................................................... Thanks for checking in on us.

Roberta and Steve
