Sunrise
Outside Sun City, AZWe have enjoyed a beautiful Fall in the Verde Valley. Cottonwood and Aspen are quite showy with the Red Rock of Sedona in the background. While hiking the Red Rock State Park we toured Apache Fires, a retreat built by a Vanderbilt girl back in the day. It was named in tribute to the Apache Indians who built it. It was a vacation place for the rich and famous, including Howard Hughes. The celebrities would fly into Cottonwood (where our Thousand Trails Resort resides.) A chauffer would pick them up and make the short drive to what is now Red Rock State Park. What a life. Eh!
We decided to stay close by for awhile and postponed our reservation at The Voyager in Tucson. We found a Roberts Resort in "The Valley" near Sun City/Surprise. It has a beautiful Fuzzy Zoellar Golf Course and 18 pickleball courts. I don't think we will be bored. Have a healthy and blessed Thanksgiving ya'll!
