We arrived in Camp Verde, Arizona Friday evening, September 21, 2018. It is outside both Cottonwood and Sedona. We are staying at Distant Drums RV Resort. It is by Cliff Castle Casino. Both are owned and run by the Yavapai Apache Nation. It is a very nice clean campground with a nice pool, separate hot tub, laundry facility, and separate restroom/shower facilities. They have free 24 hour shuttle service to the casino.
Saturday, September 22, 2018 we went to Montezuma Castle National Monument which is approximately 5 miles from the campground. It is Indian ruins in the side of the mountain. People can’t go up to the ruins anymore to the damage that was caused by previous generations. It is beautiful.
Today, Sunday, we went to lunch with Dave’s cousin, Rick. in Sedona. We saw marvelous scenery both on the way there, and on the different route we took back. We had a nice lunch at Steakhouse 89. I wouldn’t recommend their clam chowder or tomato basil soups. Their house salad is very good, the French dip is average, but the Avocado Noble Toast is great. The steaks are supposed to be very good.
