The Jail Tree https://share.google/Fz0n196FKvWbaQkQ5 Hi Guys just thought I'd share a short day trip yesterday to Wickenburg a little over an hour from Brenda Arizona. What a great little Historic Western Town. The jail tree was just one of the things to see in the Old Town part of Wickenburg. We were so impressed with the great old restaurants also. I'll post later where we had the Very Best Chicken Fried Steak Breakfast We both have ever had. For those that have never ventured up the 60 to Wickenburg you should treat yourself and enjoy a visit. Loretta and I are looking forward to our next visit.

There are murals and quite a few cafes & restaurants, shops, and museums to venture to. When I found this spot, there was a small parking lot right in front of the tree area. It is blocked off for traffic. It looks like a coffee vender has a food cart parked there. It was closed by the time we were there. There is parking close by. The tree looks like it's been there for a loooong time. It is interesting to see this man sitting on the ground, chained to the tree. There is a recording of the story and with a push of the button (it is working again) you can hear a tale. This stop has a Knotts Berry Farm feel to it. It's always fun to look for something new or unique. This stop is fun. It doesn't take long to check it out, & take a pic. When you take your next road trip and you find yourself in the area, Check it out!

We started our hike early in the morning and I would definitely recommend not starting late morning/early afternoon as it will take you some time if you stop to read all the placards and take the journey trail down to the actual memorial site where the firefighters lost their lives. Bring lots of water and sunscreen and be prepared for a 5+ hour trip in and out. The trail is well maintained and groomed, but it is still challenging and long, but well worth the effort. Parking is also very limited so check ahead to see if shuttles are running from the town of Yarnell. Once you get to the starting point there are two large porta potties that are also meticulously clean.

When I finally arrived, I was greeted by Pat. She showed me where I would be stationed with my teardrop trailer. The campground is right on the HWY 60 so you will get a lot of traffic noise and train traffic. Because I arrived late (2pm) instead of 10 am a few openings were all towards the back of the campground. I thought it would be a bad thing but it helped a bit with the noise, although the noise didn't bother me much anyway. Each camping spot had a spigot. I was in an area that was part gravel and dirt. The Historic Hotel has great history! What I found fascinating was the hotel was moved from its original spot to across the street, I believe in the 1940's. There are a few rooms upstairs and believe it or not the bar salon was originally upstairs. The wood upstairs is mostly all original and some windows as well.

In 1905 the land was donated and this Schoolhouse built and named after Don Ignacio Garcia who the called the father of Wickenburg Education. Today you'll find pictures and written histories of its time as well as a replica of what it was like inside in the early 1900's. Unfortunately it was closed today, it's Monday. The schoolhouse is open Tuesday through Saturday.

Clearly what the original architect had in mind many years ago never came to fruition as it really hasn't changed in years. Is appears to be a small artist community but we didn't see anything going on at the moment so couldn't tell if it id still active or they make everything south in Scottsdale at Cosanti. There is a gift shop where you can watch a brief video on the history and learn about their wind chime creations. Personally I've received many of the wind chimes over the last 20 years for housewarmings or Christmas gifts. Each is unique. The greeter in the gift shop was friendly and stated there is a tour available as well. We didn't have time for the tour but purchased a couple of small gifts. He suggested visiting the Scottsdale location as well which is called Cosanti. I had no idea it was located in Scott's well. Will check it out.

We signed up for the tour and yes the dirt road is rough leading to Arcosanti, our tour guide mentioned a future expansion in the living area but in order to keep building the road has to be paved, hopefully it's better in the future. The behind the scenes tour participants was twice as large as they normally have so at times it was hard to see and hear though our guide tried their best. We loved hearing about the different spaces and seeing what was hand made by volunteers though we enjoyed the more intimate feel of Cosanti more. The gift shop is one staircase above the cafe and it's where the tour meets. There is better bell selection at Cosanti If that's what you are shopping for but Arcosanti has more hand-made knick knacks by residents, there is also a nice selection of books about Soleri and Arcosanti. You can stay the night here and get a good view of the stars and a more intimate experience, we would do this next time. The architecture and vibe would make it worth it!

They picked us up from our hotel, made several stops including clean bathroom breaks and couple gift shops. Overall, the tour was amazing. Although we only spent 45 minutes at a horseshoe Bend, we were able to take some awesome pictures and walk around. But definitely the highlight was Antelope Canyon. You can only go on a tour here with the Navajo guide and our guide Ray was fantastic. We spent about 1.5 hours at lower Antelope Canyon. He really made the tour fun, informative, and he took the best pictures. The photos do not do it justice. The experience was just unreal. Each term that we took we were in awe. The downside was our tour guide Brandon. Although he was very friendly, he didn't seem that knowledgeable. Maybe he was having an off day but there were a couple times that he stopped mid sentence while telling a fact and even ended a fun fact with blah blah blah to finish up his sentence. At one point, he even started chewing on a candy or something while hooked up to the microphone. This was really annoying. We still had a very great day just a couple things that didn't make it a five star experience. Did you have a lot of options for tours and their office is located centrally in the uptown area.
