Since today was to reach 100 degrees, we wanted to be on the road early and up over the hill before it got too hot. So after getting propane and double checking the shed and lot (we summerized yesterday), off we went.
Side note – What does summerizing mean or what do you do? Since the temperature can reach well over 100 in our shed and it is wood inside, we had to leave a number of containers full of water so the wood does not dry out. And also since we have wood, we needed to spray for termites. So we will find out next season if we did everything right – :-))
We made it thru Phoenix (me, of course, on edge) and then we started our climb. Wait until you see this scenery! First we went thru forests of saguaros:
And we climbed:
Near the top – no more saguaros – some trees and grasses:
Beautiful horses – not sure if they were wild:
What goes up must come down (well, only a little way down) – trees!:
WOW!:
The red mountains near Sedona up ahead:
Cool Pic:
We arrived at Page Springs Resort in Cornville where we will be for the next week. When we joined Colorado River Adventures, we also got an RPI membership. This is our first RPI park – close quarters – :-((( but “cheap” and we will use it as a base to explore.
After supper, it had cooled down quite a bit so we took a walk around the park:
Water and trees – how I have missed them – :-))).
Our internet is very weak so I am not sure when I will be posting – I may purchase a day or so of Wi-Fi.
Stay tuned for our next adventure and enjoy each day.
