took my wife out of town (first time weve been able to get away in 6 months)
a breakdown of what we did:
1. reserved a room in Prescott National Forest
2. went to Jerome (Americas largest ghost town - went from 150,000 people in the 20's to under 100 once the depression hit in the 30s and the mines were closed)
3. went to the Tuzigoot National Monument (an ancient village built by the Sinagua Indians around A.D. 1000)
4. hit up Montezumas Castle (20 room cliff dwelling built by Sinagua Indians over 600 years ago. It is one of the best preserved cliff dwellings in North America)
5. Tried some buffalo and elk jerky (surprisingly damn good)
6. tried our luck gambling at the Cliff Castle Casino (ended up being down $40 but not too bad considering we were there for almost 5 hours)
