What a change, it is cloudy and windy and the forecast is for 30% rain (we felt 3 drops the whole day)! Anyway, we decided to go explore Salome which turned out more depressing than Ehrenberg so we continued on to Wickenburg. What a lovely and interesting town, especially the town centre which is historic. We found a BASHA grocery store so went in and bought a few things and some booze which just happened to be on sale. As we were coming out of a store, we ran into whom Val met in San Carlos while doing her Tai-Chi. What a small world!
We went for lunch at a neat historic restaurant/bar named “RANCHO 7” and an excellent soup and lunch. After a couple hours there, we came back to our Park (82KM), had dinner and watched Survivor (I have the dish set up)
Val decided to do some exercises on her own so took her tape to the club house and spent a good half hour doing her thing. I ordered a new easy lock 50 amps to replace the one outside that was busted at the border. It will be delivered to the Park in Bullhead City. Afterwards we went geo-caching around Salome (pronounce Salomee) then around the desert for more and lots of walking and climbing around and over rocks...lots of fun and great for my diabetes. We went as far west to Hope where we saw this beautiful well kept park with tons of activities and only for $375/month; sure beats $500/month at Totonaka with NO activities. This was our last cache of the day. After all that exercise, we had to have a drink at the local bar in Salome. A good day all around; it was sunny and around 24*C and a slight breeze
I uploaded more pictures in folder #85 in the link “MY PICTURES PICASA” on the blog
We got up to grey skies this morning. The forecast is for 40% rain!? I decided to wash both the Bear and the Beast today (makes sense, don’t it?) and we had lunch between the two. Val spent an hour at the club doing some Tai-Chi and exercises. We didn’t have any rain today but the sky remained overcast and the wind picked up some around 3 pm, gusting to 30 mph by 8 pm. Needless to say, we lost our satellite signal so it was read a book time.
The sun is shining this morning but did we ever have a downpour last night, it must have lasted at least an hour and this morning we have big puddles to prove it! It is quite cool too, only 10*C at 9 am, the forecast is for a maximum of 20*C.
We went geo-caching after Val did her exercises and we had breakfast. The caches took us in the desert and over mountains. We had lunch out there and continued into the afternoon. We ended up on the east side of Salome, stopped for milk at a local store then came back to our Park. It is sunny with clouds and the temperature got up to 66*F. Even Tucker enjoyed all his walks.
We have total sunshine today and little wind. A few more rig left this morning making the Park all the more empty. After exercises and showering, I cooked some pancakes (I was in the mood for it) then we went the find the last two caches left on my GPS. We went into town (Salome) and got some drinking water then came home. We loaded the kayaks, put air in the airbags, put the chairs and outside furniture away then relaxed with a beer! Tomorrow, we head for Bullhead City, AZ
