Sedona Day 5, Cottonwood, AZ

Day 5 has been one of the best days weather wise that we have had--sunny, warm and no wind. Our day started with a visit to the town of Cottonwood, AZ. From the description on their pamplet you would think it was a great place to visit. However, it was not. We got there after 9 AM and no shops were open. by 9:20 we had walked both sides of main street and looked in all the windows--both of them. We visited the old jail house which was built in 1929 to contain bootleggers and sometimes held a dozen people. However, there was only two small cells with one wooden bunk in each cell. The cells were made of plate metal welded together without windows. The doors were of crisscrossed square metal bars and did allow in some light. The most interesting building in town and we forgot to take a picture. There were a few movies made in the area and some important people--Elvis Pressley, John Wayne, May West, etc.--did stay in the Cottonwood Hotel. We did take a few pictures of the streets.
