Visiting Bob's 1st Cousin Once Removed, Nick, in Cottonwood, AZ

Before heading for California, Bob wanted to drive to Cottonwood, AZ to visit a newly found cousin, Nick. It was fun to get acquainted with him and his new bride, Chelsea. Nick came to Cottonwood because his father was here and was in poor health so he came to help him. His father has since left, but since Nick met Chelsea there and they married, they are probably there for a while. Nick works at a care center for autistic adults and Chelsea does music therapy for Alzheimer patients. Here is a nice picture of them

They took us up to a small town, Jerome, going up in altitude about 3000 feet in just a few miles. Dramatic!!! Jerome used to be a mining town, then became a "ghost town", and its now a tourist town. They took us to this really neat restaurant where there was a great view of the area and where they had great hamburgers, two for the price of one, on this night.
