Nothing to blog about today. Grocery shopping and watching TV.

No blog, just waiting for the rain to end.

What to do today?  After reading the 2012 Official Visitors Guide we decided on Mesa Grande Ruins Cultural Park, where you can see 700 year old pueblo ruins.  These ruins have been under preservation and development for the last several … Continue reading →

Just visiting with Shirley again. More relatives came to visit (Lyndsay and her boyfriend). We all went to lunch at Wildberries Restaurant in Mesa and then they left to head towards the Grand Canyon.

Boyce Thompson Arboretum is Arizona’s oldest and largest arboretum.  We were looking for a nice hiking trail and this sounded like a good place for one.  It’s supposed to be a hot one today so we left early to get … Continue reading →

Just hanging out with Shirley. No pictures as I have exceeded my photo storage quota. I need to figure something out.

The forecast was for 80 degrees today, so we did our sight seeing early.  The Superstition Mountain Museum on the Apache Trail just below the Superstition Mountain was our destination.  It’s a nice little museum with info about the Lost … Continue reading →

Saturday we went to spend the day with Shirley.  Her brother, Butch and Eileen, came to visit too, and we went out for lunch.  After that we did laundry at the Towerpoint Resort. That’s it, nothing else to blog about, … Continue reading →

This morning we met up with my step-mother, Shirley, and went to the big Mesa Market Place Swap Meet.  We’ve been here before, but I think it’s a fun place.  We made a few purchases, went out for lunch, and … Continue reading →

Our neighbors from Minnesota have bought a home in Mesa and they have very kindly allowed us to park in their back yard for a few days.  Thank you Mike and Bobbie! Our Rig in the Back Yard First thing … Continue reading →

There was a brush wildfire Tuesday afternoon not far from where we are staying.  It was the big news of the day on the local media.  The winds were so high they had such trouble putting it out.  It burned … Continue reading →

Our plan was to go to Quartzsite again, but when we got there we changed our mind and decided to head for Phoenix.  We got as far as Tonopah when we thought it was too windy and we did not … Continue reading →

Finished with the Lake Havasu area for this year we left Craggy Wash today and went about an hour’s drive south to Parker, Arizona.  We decided on this Walmart to shop and probably stay overnight.  I believe this is the … Continue reading →

In 1967 Robert P. McCulloch bought a bridge in London, had it dismantled and shipped here to be reassembled on land near Lake Havasu to create a tourist attraction for the city being developed here.  Then completed a canal under … Continue reading →

The other years we were to Las Vegas we visited “the strip” but never did get to Freemont Street Experience, which is pretty cool too.  On our way there we stopped to take a picture of a crazy building. Cleveland … Continue reading →

We were at the Hoover Dam about three years ago.  It’s changed, as the new bridge, nearly 900 feet above the Colorado River, is now completed.  Just like the dam, the bridge’s mid-point is the border between Arizona and Nevada, … Continue reading →

Where to next?  Hmm…  We’ve been to Las Vegas a few times before so that was not at the top of our list.  After mulling it over a bit we decided to head to the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead … Continue reading →
