Tom and Jen bought a truck camper.
Day 139: Lost Dutchman State Campground, Apache Junction, AZ Sunny and warm. The Saguaro National Park is pretty cool, if you like different types of plants. We arrived just in time for a ranger walk around the plants in front of the Visitor Center. I learned many neat facts, like: Saguaro is pronounced sa WAR... Continue Reading →
Day 138: Cave Creek Regional Park Campground, AZ Sunny and warm. Tom made arrangements for us to visit with a fellow Rawsonville retiree. Tony and Tammy live in a fairly modern neighborhood in Mesa. They have a beautiful home with western decor, a pool in the back yard and lots of flowers. We hit it... Continue Reading →
Day 137: Cave Creek Regional Park Campground, AZ Sunny and warm. We had an ambitious list of four things to do today: get the tires rotated at 10 AM, do some laundry, go to the library, and go to the pasty place. We did manage to get those four things finished, and got back to... Continue Reading →
Day 136: Cave Creek Regional Park, AZ Sunny and warm. Oh the joy of making coffee in the RV! We had a couple cups of coffee and some leftover birthday cake, which we grilled in a pan with a little butter. The cake was sort of dry and not impressive. It was a loaf with... Continue Reading →
Day 135: National Forest road off 89A south of Sedona Sunny and cool. Six hot air balloons float high behind our campsite this morning. I consider them my happy birthday balloons. What a wonderful day! Tom took me to Anthem, Arizona. Anthem has a veterans memorial which was dedicated on November 11, 2011, at 11:11... Continue Reading →
Day 134: National Forest road off 89A south of Sedona Sunny and warm. We had breakfast at Crema Craft Kitchen in Cottonwood and ordered a new coffee pot while eating. Crema is in the Old Town of Cottonwood and is a delightful restaurant on a delightful street. Not far from Cottonwood is Jerome, a small... Continue Reading →
Day 133: Cottonwood Fairgrounds (be out by 8:30 or be locked in until after the gun show) Sunny and warm. The coffee pot would not start. It worked last night but now it doesn’t. An electrical part must have broken. After going out to breakfast and grocery shopping, we spent most of the day at... Continue Reading →
Day 132: Kaibab National Forest, southeast of the Grand Canyon Sunny and cold. Today’s crisis: the coffee pot broke! We put 10 ounces of water in and only four came out as coffee. This happened several times. We stopped at four stores in Flagstaff to find a new pot: Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, Home... Continue Reading →
Day 131: Grand Canyon Caverns Campground, Peach Springs, AZ Sunny and cool. We decided this morning to go to the Grand Canyon. It wasn’t too far - maybe 60 miles. We took off early and drove the rest of Route 66 to Seligman, Arizona, another crazy-for-Route-66 town, and quite fun, then caught the regular highways... Continue Reading →
Day 130: Lake Havasu State Park, AZ Sunny and warm. Today we drive old Route 66! OK, I am not making this up. The tiny town of Oatman, Arizona was once a mining town where donkeys were used in the mining effort. When the mining ended the donkeys were freed. There are now 25,000 wild... Continue Reading →
