TREASURES ON MUMMY MOUNTAIN

the years i have vacationed

to camelback inn,

have often included an evening

on 

MUMMY MOUNTAIN.

north of the quaint casitas,

is a charming old town.

wooden plank buildings 

resembling something

one would see in a

john wayne western

barbershops, banks, taverns, milnery and more

stood on good arizona clay dirt.

guests come dressed in western attire.

bandanas and hats are provided

just in case...

my uncle bill and cousin debbie

extended an invitation

to join them in a celebration

of THEIR birthdays

on

MUMMY MOUNTAIN

one could hardly refuse such an event 

and so i put on jeans,

tugged on the boots,

grabbed my western wear

and

discovered my

no one leaves the mountain hungry.

a fantastic magician was hired

to entertain

a couple instructed

a variety of line dances

such as boot scootin' boogie.

participants danced

observers watched and sometimes laughed.

children played

and searched for gold.

adults visited

through

the golden dusk of 

an amber sunset

until the darkened night

revealed it's

sparkling diamonds.

MUMMY MOUNTAIN

has never failed

in delivering

it's glorious treasures...
