On Valentine's Day, we took the Verde Canyon Railroad, Chocolate Lovers ride. This is located in Clarkdale, AZ (about 90 miles NW of Phoenix). DeAnn & Bruce Hoover and Shelley & Buddy Wright went with us.The train has two FP7 locomotives that pull the renovated passenger cars. It has the passenger cars plus an open-air car so you can go outside to enjoy the scenery. The train follows the upper Verde River, runs by Indian ruins, and over trestles. It goes through a man-made tunnel.
Enough about the train, the real thing was the chocolate - we had chocolate lava cake, chocolate cupcakes, chocolate mousse, chocolate candy, etc.... We also had champagne served, a full appetizer bar, with no less than a chocolate fountain with strawberries, marshmallows, pretzels,
& bananas. Oh so good! Now you
know why were so full and mellow
on the ride home.
