I watched a Youtube video from a guy who travels all over Arizona using his drone. \u00a0It was on the Center of Arizona (Finding the Center of Arizona<\/a>). \u00a0Turns out it is in a park in Camp Verde just down the road!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see by the monument, it is actually 23.3 miles to the South East done in the Wilderness, reachable only by canoe or kayak following the Verde River. \u00a0Camp Verde is the closest town to that spot.<\/p>\n

The rest of this nice little park (Rezzonico Family Park)…<\/p>\n

…has a variety of cactus planted about.<\/p>\n

A brief respite from the cactus: it sounds like fun!<\/p>\n

Back to the cactus!<\/p>\n

All in all we had a fun drive down to Camp Verde to see the Center of Arizona. \u00a0We stopped for lunch at the Krow in Cottonwood, it was very good. \u00a0Then some propane for the furnace and home again! \u00a0Later in the evening, the Crescent Moon was shining down. \u00a0Getting a good Moon shot on a cellphone is problematical at best. \u00a0Here are two great photos\u2026unless you wanted to actually see the Moon.<\/p>\n
