We had an easy drive to Prescott, less than 200 miles, with a stop at Tonto Natural Bridge SP. We arrived at Jon & Dori's new home just in time for lunch. Dori is an excellent chef, and she treated us to a succession of delicious meals. Vegan never tasted better. We ate out a few times, and they introduced us to some wonderful restaurants.
Jon and Dori have been in Prescott for about a year, and just closed on their new home the beginning of the month, making us their first guests. Both Jon and Dori have high standards, and this house exceeds expectations. With two courtyards, an Arizona room, an open living/dining/kitchen room, living is relaxing and sublime.
Prescott is impressive. There are some 90+ miles of mountain bike trails, including a 54 mile loop around the city. Jon and I rode two different areas on successive mornings, connecting various trails for a couple hours of fun riding. The four of us also rode a lovely rails to trails, and Sharon and I explored the trail by a nearby lake. And of course there are even more hiking opportunities in the area.
Jon & Dori were the consummate hosts. They drove us around the area, so we could all enjoy Sedona, Jerome, the Friday Art Walk, the annual Art Show, and a church partly inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright.
Overall, our long weekend with Jon and Dori was a highlight of the trip, and it's heartwarming to see how much they love their new home. If I moved to Prescott, I hope that I could find a house as nice as theirs, and hire a cook as good as Dori.
