Fun Without the Sun

I forgot that I was supposed to post pictures of the park where we are staying.


So, here is our coach with our neighbors close by.


And here is a shot down the street. Hmmmm.....doesn't look so bad in the pictures. Maybe just my imagination.


Now to the fun stuff. We headed out this morning for the Mesa Swap Meet. It's huge and so much fun. We picked up a couple of things that we couldn't live without.......a set of knives, a couple of collapsible laundry baskets, some postcards and a hat for Doug.


Yup, that's the hat that has received so many comments all day. Some people were afraid that it was his real hair and some people were afraid to ask. But everyone loved it.


After the swap meet, we decided to drive east on Hwy 60 to Globe. We have heard a lot about the casino there and wanted to check it out. The drive was outstanding and pictures don't begin to do it justice.


Once we got through the tunnel, the rock formations were fascinating. The rocks were fractured and balanced precariously.


It was so beautiful that the casino Apache Gold was a let down. We left a few dollars there and were not impressed. They also have an RV park. Basically, it was a large, blacktopped parking lot with hookups. Some the rigs looked like they have been there for ten years. And the charge is $20 a night! Not for us.

We had a couple drops of rain on the way home but nothing to compare to the weather in western Washington. Sorry.........
