Left Phoenix and our first stop on I-17 on the way to Flagstaff was at Montezuma Castle in the Verde Valley. This is an abandoned habitat of the original southern Sinagua people who lived in this region in the early 1100s. It stands in a cliff recessed one hundred feet above the valley.
As we drove through the Coconino national forest we were awed by rock monoliths named Coffeepot, Cathedral and Thunder Mountain. The Chapel of the Holy Cross, one of the vortexes on a hill in Sedona, provided us with awesome views of the area. The serene church atmosphere was perfect for prayer and reflection. Later our good luck lead us to find a fine dining “Takashi” Japanese restaurant with good local company and conversation.
Again later, are you ready for this? We danced to a juke box in a sports bar to the wee hours and spent the night in a parking lot under the watchful eye of a huge statue to Merlin the Magician (Marilyn's nickname in highschool...lol)
