Last Saturday, cabin fever forced Gary and I, the wives and the girlfriends out for the day. We figured it would be safe to stay in our own cars, and go enjoy a beautiful day. Headed up to Payson, through Strawberry, Camp Verde, Cottonwood, Jerome, Prescott and home.
We stopped at the overlook a mile uphill from Jerome, and enjoyed a picnic lunch in the chilly mountain air. Just as we were finishing up, a Phoenix car club arrived coming the opposite way with a couple million dollars of hardware. We drooled over the cars, and they warned us that once we got over Mingus Mtn, we'd run into some snow(!).
It was a great day until it wasn't. My car sputtered to a stop on the 303, about 25 miles from home. AAA came to rescue us, and they flatbedded the car home. Bad alternator says my mechanic, which makes sense as none of the old receipts show any alternator service.
Here's a few pics from the day, click the photo to embiggen:
