Arizona Living




OK, I promised some pics and have finally got them over to the computer. Hopefully, I can get them in some order that makes sense. First (??) is where we "roughed it" at the Echo Bay campground at the Lake Mead Recreational Area. I am not bothering with any pic from our stay at Wikieup:( The Echo Bay campground is on a high bluff above the lake and Marina which can be seen down in the distance. If it's blue, it's water:) The last pic is of our humble abode parked in the "desolate" gentle desert of the County Park south of Maricopa. Yesterday, just for giggles and something to do, we drove over to Florence, AZ to tour the Sun City Anthem housing. Who knows, maybe some day we'll consider living here in the Winter and traveling North for the summer? It's a thought anyhow. Sunny and cool for the next few days with a possibility of some rain showers late this evening. No winds expected with the next front coming through so we should be able to sleep through it:)

Pinal County Park - at last:)

We are now in our favorite site at our favorite So. AZ "RV Park" with solar power, full fresh water tank and empty holding tanks. Upon arrival several days ago, we were in a "temporary" site until another RV moved out of "our" site. Now, we are balanced and level so we can get on with our exciting life of exercising, reading, games on the Kindle, etc. (Not all in that order) Verizon has been very exasperating as they are currently going through some upgrading of the cell towers expanding the 4G network. The result is that service drops out on a regular basis or is out for several hours at a time. Since we are retired and have nothing better to do, one would think it isn't a big deal. However, without email and Facebook, how does one start the day? At least when it works, it works great. The weather is really nice with mild breezes and plenty of sunshine, so far. The winds will pick up tomorrow. The forecast is calling for 15-25 with gusts to 35-45 for tomorrow. Not good flying conditions:( I flew the Sky Surfer this morning a couple of times in the park here. The entrance "road" is smooth enough for landing and takeoffs with the other 2 planes. It will be good for a while until the RV population starts picking up in a week or 3. The RV's are on the move everywhere:) I didn't get any of the pics downloaded from the camera yet so no pics yet.
