I don't think I'd mind staying at the Noftsger Hill Inn. It doesn't sound as scary as some of these other haunted hotels.

We did live in a 1800's house for a bit, but it had been a nunnery before that and while it could have been incredibly terrifying (especially in the middle of the night), there really was a very peaceful, very good feeling about the place.Crystal Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912469552483168148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782231935569058555.post-7819515860101311982015-09-09T09:27:53.930-06:002015-09-09T09:27:53.930-06:00Good Morning, Shady!

The Grand Canyon in all its grandeur has always scared me half to death. I won't go near the skywalk - or glass elevators, for that matter - ha! I have however found myself wedged in canyon crevices, and wrapped in barbed wire after curiosity led me to slide right down a mountainside :-)<br />I love observatories! Mount Graham and Kitt Peak are two I've visited multiple times :-)<br />Summer has not yet ended here but it is indeed on it's way as Monarchs have taken leave and Nectar bats are back.<br />Thanks so much popping in, Shady! diedre Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12772557495518846226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782231935569058555.post-13049056703989869632015-09-09T07:14:19.205-06:002015-09-09T07:14:19.205-06:00Good morning, dear Diedre!

I can imagine those poor peccaries desperately searching for cooling shade. It's a good thing Mrs. Shady and I took our trip through your area last August when the temperatures were in the "comfortable" normal range. The highest temp we encountered on our trip was 111. On our three week cross country journey last summer we happened upon a number of memorable places that weren't on the itinerary. One was a quaint cafe in central El Paso, Texas, where electric fans replaced air conditioners and we enjoyed a surprisingly great lunch of authentic TexMex cuisine. Another was the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array Radio Astronomy Observatory in New Mexico. On our long trip to the mountains and through the desert region on our way to California we made many unplanned stops and took pictures of the glorious red rock formations and majestic pipe organ cactus fields. It was a wonderful experience.<br /><br />Mrs. Shady and I would love to stay at the Noftsger Hill Inn. She was very brave at the Grand Canyon, standing too close (in my opinion) to the edges of cliffs. Therefore I believe that she would boldly venture out on the catwalk while I took pictures. I would be very happy to encounter a ghost and believe that I would treat the specter of malcontent in a kind and compassionate manner. <br /><br />Thank you, dear friend Diedre, and have a delightful day!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.com
