WHAT'S DOWN WITH THE BREHM'S, JUNE 5, 11




RED CLIFFS OF COCONINO

This is typical scenery along hwy 179 heading into Sedona. We are now camped in Verde Valley, Thousand Trails Reserve. The last time we came here our motorhome burned to the ground on the highway. We came a different way this time. We came in on I-40 to Flagstaff, then down 17 to Verde Valley. Weather is cooler here, mid 80's and 10-20 mph winds.


Yesterday we took a little drive. Went to the Cliff Castle Casino, I lost $2 but Diane won $200. That made for a nice start. We left the Casino and took a nice little country drive in to Sedona. Many changes since our last visit. Ended our drive in Old Cottonwood for lunch at the Tavern Grill. Hope you are all doing well, God Bless...




The Gambler and her lucky charm..


HOME IN THE DESERT




DESERT ORCHIDS

there are many of these type of bushes here, and they are all in bloom. This one is right by our campsite.


HIKING PATH




This is one of the many hiking trails in Verde Valley. We are too late for all the beautiful cactus blooms, but still enjoyable. You can see Squaw Peak in the backround.

CAMP VERDE POOL AREA




SHADOW STUDY




I was intrigued by the shadows off the lattice at the pool area.
