We are home from an extended camping tour in Arizona over the Memorial Day weekend. Talk about hot, dry and dusty. They need rain in a bad way (The same way that New Mexico needs to put some money towards fixing their damn roads and interstate).
Our first day was traveling and staying overnight in Gallup (NM). Nothing to write home about. Our second day, per photo, was in Heber/Overgaard (AZ). We saw friends and our daughter/granddaughters came up from Surprise (AZ) to spend a little time with their mother/grandmother and me. It was good to see them!
After our granddaughters left our 11 month old miniature schnauzer was catching up on her naps.
The Sunday before Memorial Day, we picked everything up and moved on to Show Low (AZ). Here we stayed at my BIL place. Which, at one time,....
...was a fancy resort in the White Mountains of Arizona. Now it's their summer home. It's nice and really, this photo doesn't do it justice showing how massive it really is. While we were staying here we saw BIL and his wife and friends that were camping at a nearby almost lake (H2O level was way down). Again, it was good to see everyone!
Heading back home, we stayed at an overly-priced RV Resort in Durango (CO). They gave us a spot with a view (If you didn't mind the Hwy noise)! While it was great to see friends and family in dry and dusty AZ, it was better yet to see and feel the familiar surroundings of the Rocky Mountains.
Photo taken just prior to packing it up and heading home to our little Colorado town. BTW -Our Ram 2500 pulled the infamous Wolf Creek Pass with no problems (Contrary to what some say about the Ram). In fact, since Wolf Creek Pass is constantly patrolled by the state I really had to watch my speed going up-the-grade. 10 over with pedal to spare was enough. Granted, she's no hotrod, but I didn't purchase her for that purpose. I have a 600hp 1970 Challenger for that purpose.
Well that's it! We are already planning a camp outing to Cripple Creek (CO) for a few days getaway. Should be fun!
