Palatki and Honanki Sinagua Indian Ruins

 Today we visited Sinagua Indian Ruins,both sites were amazing.

The first stop was Palatki, set in the red rock moutains the backdrop was spectacular.

The Palatki site once had 20 rooms and was a very lush environment.

The petroglyphs were so vivid.

 What it looks like around the site.

 Then over to Honanki which is about 4 miles away.  This site was much bigger, probably had over 70 rooms and over 200 people.

 A miracle we can still wander around without guides.

 Lots more petroglyphs but here we see a lot of graffiti which dates back to the early 1900's, I guess they did not know what they had here.

A couple of days out

 We have moved on to Camp Verde and have gone out for a couple day trips.

First one was just out beyond town to do some geocaching and we found another rattler, I guess this is our payback for such a wonderful warm winter.

 Clear Creek

 The blossoms are starting to come as spring gets nearer.

 Second day we went closer to Sedona and took a Jeep trail on Schnebley road, it was closed about four miles up due to winter conditions but the scenery was worth the bumpy ride.

 A tree for my brother Cliff, sorry they will not let me bring it home.

 We also went up to the Holy Chapel built in the rocks it is spectacular.

 Just below the chapel is this fellows summer home, otherwise the lives in Scottsdale.

 It was a wonderful day.
