Downtown Flagstaff 9/29

After seeing the movie "the Women" which was very good. A remake of a 1939 version. Went to the Weatherford hotel for lunch and a geocache. Cache was behind the stove, 2nd floor , called the Zane Grey room where he did some of his writings. Then down the street to a place called the Downstairs Town mall (under ground). Cool- neat shops.
Hotel was built by John Weatherford in 1898 from Weatherford TX. Lots of history including ghosts.

La Posada 9/22

After a fun day of geocaching, we (Faith, ED & myself) went to a famous place called the La Posada hotel. It was built in the '30s and know for its vip guests and movie stars. Mary Colter is the designer, she was hired by the Santa Fe Railway/ Harvey company to design hotels & restaurants. The hotel is located in Winslow. U can refer to http://www.laposada.org/ for more great info. We were joined by Bunny & Jim from MC RV park. Great food (a little price-zy). It was Faith's birthday. The hotel is filled with Tina Mion paintings- the one here is in the ballroom- "A New Years party.." It has various movie stars.

Chavez Pass 9/22

Monday am. Using Faith's jeep off we went. Chavez pass is located about 21 mi south of Meteor Crater. Traveling across the dirt road to the pass. Once there we located the a geocache which hasn't been found since May 08. From the Pass two ways to go, left which requires 4 wheel drive or to the right. Both ways will lead you to Hwy 87. We chose the left- boy it was interesting. Up & up , across rocks, etc. Views were great. Once we got onto hwy 87 we travel west to do somemore geocaching. Fun day.

Ghost Hunting 9/16

9/16 tue evening: GHOST HUNTING. Two of the employees at Meteor Crater are ghost huners. Got invited to go with a small group. We were on the trail at the M.C. rim at 8 pm to an area of ruins (was a sm house used by the men looking for the Iron in 1903). There was a full moon- really awesome. Sue & Harrel use these elec devices know as EMF's that measure the elec engery. If ghosts are present the lights will come on (5 lights ) based on the strength of the elec force. YES, about an hour into it we did get some readings for about 3/4 min. Cool. New adventure.
