Since we don't have an internet connection in the coach, we are getting behind on our blog. We'll bring you up to date, hopefully without getting too long-winded!
We left St. David on Feb.2 and moved on to Casa Grande, AZ. It is just south of Phoenix. After finding our campsite, we headed to town to get some shopping done and a haircut for me. Picked up some nice steaks, so we grilled those for suppper. The campground is nice and clean, great amenities, but a bit like a parking lot. We like a little more space and more trees.
Friends Mary and Vic invited us to their campground to watch the SuperBowl in their motorhome. Mary fixed some great chili and snacks for us.
Believe it or not, we spent the next day inside because it rained all day! Not a usual thing for southern Arizona! We drove up to Scottsdale to have dinner with Luke and Christy at a great seafood restaurant. It was good to catch up with them. The last time we saw them was in September at Grandma's birthday celebration.
Our next adventure was to drive the Apache Trail. This road is east of Phoenix and a good portion of it is dirt. Much of the scenery reminded us of a mini Grand Canyon. Due to all of the rain, the road at Tortilla Flats had a lot of water running over it. It had been closed for the 2 days prior, but we were able to cross it. We even saw a waterfall in one of the canyons! Definitely didn't expect that! We drove on to Roosevelt Dam and then returned to Casa Grande to have dinner with Vic and Mary at a Mexican restaurant.
The next day (Feb. 6) we drove to our next stop - Jamul, CA. We'll pick up from there in the next update!
