Home


 Mother Nature is showing her finest colors in AZ and the views from our site at Cave Creek SP were splendid but I longed for the mountains.


 Nearing Moab on the 3rd day, we enjoyed the sandstone sculptures with the La Salle Mtns as a backdrop.   Moab was packed to the rafters with spring breakers, slick rock riders , off road vehicles and Jeeps.    The hotel building continues at amazing speed and I wonder how soon the beautiful back country will be over run and damaged.     The double waiting line to get into Arches NP at 9 am was at least a mile long.  

Our beautiful San Juans are magnificent from our windows.     The snow melt will be well into July and then the wildflowers will be bountiful and beautiful.  

   After 2 days of tedious unloading and cleaning, the MH was moved to it's favorite place, Centennial RV.     We hook up to electricity for a month or so while the temps are in the freeze zone at night and then will move to the storage area.     The new owners are very nice and motivated.    They have been totally booked for the summer since last fall.   We used to stay here on our trips west when we lived in FL and the views and proximity to the best of the west is perfect.      

Unbeknown to us, we had a hitchhiker on board.     Lurking in a hiding place, was this cute Oregon Duck !!    Our friends and neighbors in Palm Creek are known for their highjinks.    In past years, they have slapped colorful bumper stickers on the unsuspecting as they pull out and head home.  ( by colorful, I mean things you might not want your grandchildren to read about you ) .   They once attached a VERY large bra to the ladder on the back that flapped in the breeze going down the highway.    They hide things inside as well.     We were very fortunate to be recipients of the traveling Oregon Duck.    Most of the group are from Tillamook and the rest from Arkansas.    It's a fun group and we will show the Duck the best of Colorado and beyond.


I'm off for my first round of golf.    The course is in great shape from all the water this year but it is chilly out. (high of 44).    Yesterday it snowed lightly.             It's good to be home !!
