Today we were going to the next town, Cottonwood, to get an inner tube for Bob's bike. He was certain that he would never make the drive to Jerome because in his "Mountain Directory" it shows how curvy and hilly the road there is. After speaking with a guy at our campground here, he decided to give it a try. He made it there and back with NO problem. Jerome is quite a place! It was a billion dollar copper mining town back in it's heyday. It is now called the "biggest ghost town" in the US. It has 300 residents now and is supposedly haunted. We had lunch at the Jerome Palace "Haunted Hamburger". It was highly recommended and we can see why. We both had hamburgers, steak fries and cole slaw, plus Bob had a bowl of chili. Everything was EXCELLENT! It was worth the climb from the main street up another level to where the restaurant was.

I just HAD to buy Bob a t-shirt,
I was so proud of him. :-)
Not that the road had hairpin
turns or switchbacks... YIKES!
