Exploring Ancient Sites

---

Brad and Mindy L. from Kansas came to visit once again (yay!) and we visited some interesting sites with them. We drove to the V Bar V Ranch in the Verde Valley to see the wall of petroglyphs. Then it was on to Tuzigoot National Monument to walk among the restored dwellings there. After lunch at the Red Rooster in Cottonwood we visited the new Copper Museum in Clarkdale. The next day we drove up Williamson Valley Road north of Prescott and climbed up Indian Mountain to investigate the Indian ruins there that have not been restored.
