Vacation in Cottonwood

We left for vacation on July 10, caching along the way to Cottonwood, AZ. We had a beautiful vacation cabin at Thousand Trails Campground.

Our cabin was more like a single wide mobile home, but not like the mobile homes that you're thinking about. This one had a second story loft (which was kind of funny since we could only stand up in it on our knees). But it provided storage and it had 2 twin beds as well. For a vacation house, it was pretty cool. It had a small living room with a flat screen tv and satellite, a nice kitchen and bathroom, and a nice bedroom with plenty of closet space. It also had a flat screen tv and satellite. We received a newspaper delivered to us each morning too.

Our plan was to retrieve our 1000th cache find in Cottonwood area, which we did!

The weather was kind of crazy. Since it's monsoon season here in Arizona, we did get some rain, but not much. If we would have stayed at the campground, we probably would have gotten more rain.

We ventured to Prescott to visit Cheryl and cached in that area after lunch at her bar and grill. We looked for "Big Nose Kate's" grave but were unsuccessful at finding it. We visited Whiskey Row in downtown Prescott and also visited Goldwater Lake. We collected caches both to and from Prescott.

We went back to Prescott on Wednesday to cache with Linda and Ernie (zacoolkatz) along the road to Lynx Lake. We collected caches and had a great time with them. Again, we cached along the way to and from Prescott.

We went up to Jerome to, what else, get more caches. We stopped in Jerome to look around, but a lot of the shops are closed. We continued over the mountain caching along the way. We collected quite a few caches and ended up in , where else, Prescott.

We came home on Friday by way of Williams. There was a ham fest there and we stopped to get some items for our ham radios.

We had a great vacation and hope to do it again in Cottonwood!

The Kids Were Here




Both April & Chris were here in Havasu for Fathers Day and Linda's birthday. We had a bar b que with some close friends on Saturday evening. It was really fun. I have posted some pictures for the four of us, as well as one of Linda and I.
