On Monday we went to the V-Bar-V Heritage Site. The V-Bar-V Heritage Site is on the former V-Bar-V cattle ranch. It was acquired in 1994 by the US Forest Service in a land swap to preserve the site.

You walk down an easy half mile trail that meanders along the Beaver Creek to the Petroglyphs.

The petroglyphs were created by the Sinagua tribe between 1150 and 1400 AD. The site become part of the V-Bar-V ranch around 1907 and the ranchers protected the site from vandalism until the swap in 1994.

This is an amazing place to visit. If you ever are in the Verde Valley or near Sedona you must come see these!

Here is one more picture. As I said, there are more then 1000 pieces, so you really need to see them in person to get the impact. In the past we have only seen a few in one spot.

On Wednesday we had our 5th wheel washed to get rid of all the sand from the Palm Desert wind storm. After that we went to Prescott to see an old friend Todd Wiederman. I worked with Todd at VRSD back in the 90's in the scalehouse and we have kept in touch.
For those that do not know, you pronounce Prescott 'Press-Kitt', not 'Press-Scott'. They will run you out of town if you do not pronounce it correctly. :)
After spending the day with Todd catching up, he drove us around town to show us Prescott. Todd took us to a place called JB's for lunch. Here is Todd, his mother, Patty and me.

We really enjoyed the day with Todd and appreciated him showing us around and taking us to lunch!
Well that's it for today,
God Bless,
Love you guys,
