V MOTHER’S DAY ARTS & CRAFTS V
May 11 • 2–4 p.m. • in the Clubhouse
Calling all of our “crafty” kids! Our staff is here to help you make a beautiful greeting
card for Mother’s Day. We’ll provide all the supplies for your hand-crafted masterpiece.
Just add your creative touch for a one-of-a-kind card that shows Mom just how much
you care. It’s a wonderful opportunity to show our moms just how much we appreciate
them!
p PET PLEASERS O
We can say “so long” to unsightly and unsanitary pet droppings when all of our pet
owners clean up after their animals. The next time you walk your pet, don’t be caught
empty-handed—use a leash and carry a scoop or plastic bag for quick cleanups.
A SPLASH FLASH
Swimming season is here, and water safety is a priority. Please remember these
important pool policies: • for their safety, minors must be supervised by an adult at all
times • proper swimwear is required • no glass or alcohol in the pool or pool area • keep
noise levels low • always close and latch the gates. Enjoy!
DOORWAY DO’S & DON’TS
When kept clean and tidy, your entryway can be an attractive approach to your
home. Please don’t allow your home to spread beyond your doorway, though.
Entryways and the areas around them must remain clear at all times. Doormats are
welcome, but garbage bags, storage items, bikes, etc. are not.
Verde Valley State Parks
he Verde Valley is home to several
T
state parks, where friends and families
can experience outdoor activities together.
Dead Horse Ranch State Park, Slide Rock
State Park, Red Rock State Park, Fort
Verde State Historic Park, and Jerome
State Historic Park all offer diverse
opportunities for outdoor recreation.
Dead Horse Ranch State Park is
located along the Verde River and north
of Cottonwood. It was the site of a working
ranch in the past but is now a popular
recreation park with camping, fishing,
cabins, walking trails, paddling, and
bird watching. The 3,300-foot elevation
accounts for the mild temperatures that
are ideal for camping, mountain biking in
the Coconino National Forest, hiking along
the Verde River, canoeing, picnicking,
fishing, or just wading in the cool water.
Slide Rock State Park is located north
of Sedona along Oak Creek. It features
spectacular red rocks, good swimming
areas, walking trails, scenic views, and
historic buildings. A historic orchard on
site produces delicious apples each fall.
The park is named after the famous Slide
Rock, a stretch of slippery creek bottom
adjacent to the homestead. The park is
ideal for wildlife viewing, short leisurely
walks, picnics, and swimming.

Also in Sedona, Red Rock State
Park is a 286-acre nature preserve and
environmental education center with
stunning scenery. Hiking trails wind
through Manzanita and Juniper trees that
reach the rich banks of Oak Creek. Green
meadows are framed by native vegetation
and hills of red rock. The creek meanders
through the park, creating a diverse
riparian habitat for plants and wildlife.
Get a glimpse into Arizona’s history at
Fort Verde State Historic Park in Camp
Verde, where soldiers were stationed for
General Crook’s U.S. Army between the
1870s and 1880s. The fort was home
to officers, doctors, families, enlisted
men, and scouts. The park is the bestpreserved example of an Indian Wars
period fort in Arizona, with several of the
original buildings still standing.
Stories of mining adventures abound at
Jerome State Historic Park in the town
of Jerome. See the Douglas Mansion set
in historic period rooms and check out the
mining tools of the trade. A self-guided
tour of the historic park gives insight into
the town’s mining king, James Douglas.

ON A MISSION
Mission San Xavier del Bac,
pictured on the cover, was founded
in 1692 by Jesuit missionary, Father
Eusebia Francisco Kino, and built
by the Franciscans. It is one of the
finest examples of Spanish Colonial
architecture in the country.
The white, Moorish-inspired design
of the outside is elegant and simple,
in striking contrast to the ornate
entrance. The interior is richly
decorated in paintings, carvings,
frescoes, and statues. Appropriately,
the mission is known as the “Sistine
Chapel of the New World.”
Today, the mission still functions
as a parish church and center of the
Tohono O’odham community. It is
open to the public from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
daily. To reach the mission, take I-19
nine miles south of Tucson to exit 92.

Historic Route 66 Fun Run
T
his month, more than 800 classic,
custom, and unique automobiles will
cruise through Seligman, Kingman, and
Topock/Golden Shores. Thousands of
onlookers will join the celebration of the
Historic Route 66 Fun Run, May 3–5.
The “party” starts up Friday, May 3, in
Seligman, with live music, entertainment,
and a parade. It shifts into second gear
at 9 a.m. Saturday, with a jaunt to
downtown Kingman for a show-and-shine
viewing and judging. There’ll be plenty of
entertainment and food to enjoy. Then it
slides into high Sunday morning in Topock/Golden Shores for the final gathering and awards.
Route 66, called the Main Street of America, opened in November 1926. It was one of
the most famous original U.S. Highways, cutting a 2,448-mile pathway from Chicago
through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona before reaching
Los Angeles. Though it isn’t on many maps today, remaining sections of this historic
mother road take motorists on a nostalgic ride through towns steeped in Americana and
reminiscent of a slower, simpler time. The Historic Route 66 Fun Run began in 1988,
after the highway had been decommissioned and replaced with Interstate 40. Arizona
maintains the longest, original stretch of Route 66. Info: 928-753-5001 or www.azrt66.com.
