Moving South

It was only a short jaunt today. We left the Valley Vista RV Park a few minutes after 10 and drove through the small town of St David. It's not much of a town. And, as Doug found out later, it's a dry town with a Mormon background.

St David was founded in 1877 and named after a LDS apostle. It's claim to fame is the St David school district which is the oldest in the San Pedro Valley. And, it's most recent newsworthy item is that three skunks found in the area have tested positive for rabies. Hmmmmmmm

Just south of town is the Holy Trinity Monastery, which is a Benedictine community. The retreat also includes a meditation garden, conservatory, birdwalk, bookstore, library, gift shop and museum. Maybe we will get a chance to stop in and get a few pictures.


And, just south of the monastery is the St David Western Horizons RV Resort. We checked in and were assigned a spot at the top of the hill. After winding through the park, past a small fishing lake we came out in a large meadow.

The sites are huge and the park is not very crowded. We hauled over a picnic table from an empty lot and made ourselves at home. It's a bit breezy, so we have to put our chairs away when we aren't using them. But the picnic table has become Doug's rock station.


We have a lovely view of the mountains (don't ask me what the name is).


And in the evening the sunsets are spectacular. I like this quiet, peaceful park.
