I talked Jim and Pat into bringing me to Montezuma Castle National Monument (Camp Verde, AZ) to see how the Southern Sinagua farmers lived about 900-1200 years ago. Early settlers thought the construction was of Aztec origin and named it Montezuma, but it has been learned that the farmers/builders were of the Hohokam culture. These skilled Sinaguan farmers grew corn, squash and cotton using a variety of techniques that included canal irrigation.We are parked near Cottonwood, AZ, about 50 miles south of Flagstaff. We will be here for another week when we will move to Prescott and then to Lake Havasu City.
Hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving.
Warmest regards, Gus
