We were to meet our driver at the Verde Valley Senior Center at 6:30. So we left the resort for the short 15 minute drive at 6:00 pm to allow plenty of time. We followed the typed up directions given to us by Peggy the conciege. Well, let me tell you, those directions did not get us to the place we were to be. In fact we didn't even find the streets we needed. So we called Ron the owner of Tours of Jerome. He insisted we just stay put and he would send the driver to us, even though after speaking to him and using my phone GPS, Kevin figured out what it was we needed to do to get to the place we needed to be. He said the driver had my cell phone number to call us. He wanted our location which was Main and 10th Streets and we were at the Spirit gas station. Well 30 minutes latere were still waiting. So Kevin called him back, and he tried to tell us the only Spirit gas station was at the base of Jerome, well that obiviously wasn't true as we were at one and were not at the base of Jerome. The driver also didn't have our cell number come to find out, so we gave it to Ron who called the driver, Jerry. A few minutes later Jerry called us and we proceded to confirm that the way we thought was the way to where we were to meet was correct. five minutes later we were at the Verde Valley Senior Center where Jerry our driver was and we were on our way to Jerome.
Once there we met up with our tour guide and 6 other people for the tour. We drove around the city streets learning about the history of Jerome, and hearing the local legends. At one time there had been 15 house of prositution, 12 salons and 3 churchs and the people of the city thought this to be a good balance. This town had at one time been a booming cooper mining town.
After touring the city it was time to do some investigating. We were supplied with EMF readers and were taken to the old high school, and the Conner Hotel to investigate. At the Conner Hotel a cable installer once was offered the room for the evening and the next morning was found in his car, he told the hotel staff that he would never again stay in that room nor any room in that hotel. In Room number 3 people who have stayed in that room have reported that things they have left on a nightstand beside the bed before going to sleep, in the morning are across the room on another piece of furniture. Another room is said to have blue light suddening show from beneathe the door as you are standing in the hallway. A man, I can't remember for sure but I think his name was Harry Ott, was kill at the bar in the building that now houses gift shop on the first floor and the Tours of Jerome has their offices in the basement.
We then drove around a bit more, we saw the Haunted Hamburger, the Grand Hotel, the Surgeon's House, one of the hospital's, and the jail. Then it was time to head back to Sedona.
