Mountain Drive
It's a good thing we knew not to drive the motorhome on this highway (89A) from Prescott to Jerome (and then on to Sedona). This drive had more wild switchbacks, blind curves and narrow spots than anything we've been on so far. It's a good road...just not for wide bodies! We climbed over Mingus mountain to the town of Jerome, a little old mining town on the side of a mountain. Streets are one-way and narrow as you head down the mountain. In this picture if you look in the distance, you see the town of Cottonwood. The difference in elevation is about 4000 feet. We didn't stop in town..don't need any more stuff! Beautiful weather and gorgeous drive. We decided to tackle the Sedona portion heading south from Flagstaff.

Hi There
Enjoying your adventures, Rich and I visited
Sedona many years ago, when we went on a company
sales trip to Scottsdale. It was just beautiful
if my memory serves me correct, we visited a
chapel that was built in the mountains of Sedona.
It was just beautiful, then we drove to Flagstaff
where their was snow on the ground, This was
sometime in the Month of April I can't remember
the year exactly, but Rich was working for
Lifetime Foam at that time. So it was a long time
ago. Enjoy, and Take care, We are all doing Okay.
Mary is moving this weekend into a bigger home.
Bryanne will be 3 on May 31st and Jake will be
graduating from Middle School on June 10th. The
Months of April, May and June are really busy for
us this year. Love Ya, Christine
