John & Alison meet Old Route 66 In the 1960's a rich US businessman named McCullough got the idea to start a city on the Colorado River that would be a playground for the monied crowd. In 1964 he bought the old London Bridge from the city of London and had it dismantled and moved here. A wacky idea some of us would say.....but it is the 2nd most popular tourist destination in Arizona!!  Here are Pam, John and Alison with the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City in the background.

Southern Sinagua farmers began building this 5 story, 20 room dwelling early in the 1100's. It stands in a cliff recess 100 feet above the valley floor. Early settlers marvelled at the structure and assuming it was Aztec in origin named it Montezuma's Castle.

Amy & her mom sitting below Montezuma's Castle. Look closely to see the rattle snake we encountered while visiting Montezuma's Castle in the Verde Valley of Arizona. This "guy" is about 3 feet long and is content to give us a wide birth.....as we were very happy to do with him as well!!

We are fortunate to be in the desert during the early flowering of many plants, including this barrel cactus.
