My Jack-O-Lantern!

 HAPPY HALLOWEEN!  Mom made me this neat Jack-O-Lantern - she said it was the best she could do under the circumstances.  I think it's just fine!

Today Dad took us up to Sedona - but we didn't have much fun - there were sooo many people, we were constantly pulling over to the side of the road to get out of everybody's way.  These people around here are nuts when they get behind the wheel - they don't take the time to see anything - rush, rush, rush!  We went all the way to the top of Oak Creek - it was real pretty there and the weather was nice and cool.  Dad said we will come back when it's not so crowded.

Today we went to Jerome, AZ.  Looks like they are trying to copy Virginia City - but they missed by a long shot.  Dad found another back road and we went up real high into the mountains.  We could see EVERYTHING from up there.  They are saying that they have a gold mine up there, but when we got back to town, Dad went into this rock shop and ran into a lady who has written a book about Jerome - she said they mine copper up there.  Looks like the mine is still going too.

Happy VOTING day!  Hope you all voted for the right guy or gal this time!  Mom says "be careful who you vote for, you just might get them"!  Anyway, we went back to Sedona today and it was a lot better.  Mom was able to take some pictures, and we had lunch there.  As we went up Oak Creek Canyon, there was a Dairy Queen and I got my FIRST ice cream cone - BOY WAS IT GOOD!  The ice cream is better than the cone part tho.  We saw some more of that red rock - I'm beginning to think that is all there is on this trip - rock, rock, and more rock!  Tomorrow we will be moving on - we are going to Buckeye, AZ - that is just West of Phoenix.  We plan on having dinner with Uncle Don while we are there since he couldn't make it to our camp at Cottonwood, AZ.  Mom took some  pictures of this really strange cactus - she says it looks like rabbit ears.  Here are some of the pictures she took...



Red Rock!




More Red Rock!




Prickly cactus leaves as big as a DINNER PLATE - OUCH!

This is the one that looks like rabbit ears!
