Casa Grande AZ

Good morning all from Casa Grande! Arrived a few days ago, once again beautiful country! Had a nice visit with Myles' Aunt and Uncle from Mesa. Took us to the top of South Mountain on Wednesday, and got a glorious panoramic view of Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa. You could see for miles. However, the ride up to the mountain was a little winding, curvy ride, just was glad I was not driving, you could tell that Uncle Don had done this before.. :-) Lots of out of town guests!

 Yesterday we went to Canyon Lake and went on Geological cruise. The boat was called The Dolly Steamboat. Its basically a reservoir, and feeds the city of Mesa...interesting. Other points of interest were, desert bighorn sheep, way off in a distance, and bald eagles. Was a really relaxing day.



Today we are going over to Sun City to visit a friend of mine, Randi, she is from Seattle and has been staying there for a couple of months. Going over to spend the day with her and have dinner and return tomorrow. Tuesday our plan is to go to the Tuscan area, must likely Green Valley.  We have heard from the locals, Tubac is suppose to be a really cool little artsy town with shops and more points of interest, and of course good shopping....:-)

PS. Pictures to follow when we have better cell service.....:-)

Hope this note finds everyone well!

  2. Traveling the country by wheels on your own terms deadlines is the best. Don't rush it and Breath! So much beauty found right here in the USA. The timing of traveling is working out perfect for you two. Not too hot yet so you can still enjoy doing/sightseeing in and around the desert. Some beautiful places indeed. One of my favorites is Sedona. If you get the chance try to make it there. You won't regret it. A trip is worth it as the beauty found in red rock skirting the entire area, just beautiful. Very artsy, cools boutiques, shops, restaurants, etc. So worth a visit. You know Annette (Torres) Casey lives in Payson, right. You could stop to see her and Tim. I know, they'd love to see you. So much advice and not enough time, right. Well, whatever you do just soak it up and enjoy the ride. Who knows when/if you'll get back. Safe travels.
    Hugs.
