The 1st Lady and I were up, Fr. Roast coffee and hot tea, and on the road by 9am this morning as we headed north by northeast to Apache Junction......an eastern suburb of Phoenix and Mesa. There we pulled into Gold Canyon RV Resort at 10am....and soon found ourselves being greeted by two Cedar Creek RV Owners Club members.....Jim and Judy Watters. They are residing in the Resort for two months in their Cedar Creek 5'er.
We enjoyed coffee and lots and lots of talk and rv comparisons in their rv......and it is the same model as TheHowserHouse, but one year newer. Then we decided to head up into the mountains to Tortilla Flats for a bite of lunch. Well..........
The desert mountains were absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!! I will post pics BUT.....they do not show the magnificent colors as the sun was just high in the sky and did not allow for good and accurate color photos. We made a couple of viewing and walking stops along the way. At Tortilla Flats.....an really interesting little "village" we managed to be seated at the cafe there in about 20 minutes......and had some wonderful hamburgers!!!!! REALLY YUMMY!!! Then it was on up the mts. and as the paved road gave way to crunchy gravel, the hairpins became sharper and road much steeper as we climbed up and and up until we were able to look down into Fish Creek Canyon. WOW...........such a view on such a beautiful day here in Arizona!
We had many laughs, a few squeals from the 1st Lady as we rounded hairpin corners where no line of sight around the mt. was available and with only steep drop-offs along the gravel road.....AND no barriers. But.....THE COLORS.....of the cliffs, the distant mountains, and incredible sky just brought the vistas and views alive! WOW!!!!
Returning to the RV Resort and Jim and Judy's Cedar Creek, we took our leave for TheHowserHouse and a prior commitment that had to be kept. It was SOOOOOOOOOO GREAT to spend time with such a lovely couple (who just 2 weeks ago celebrated their 50th anniversary!!)......and to renew the friendship we made a year ago. We are looking forward to seeing them again in June at the Wisconsin Dells when we have our 2nd International Cedar Creek RV Owners Club Rally!!!!!!
Me......tonight????? Well, we are a bit tired......but it is a "good tired" from walking in the mountains......enjoying a delightful lunch in a very unique cafe.....and having such a great time with friends!!!! How can it be anything but.......
LIFE IS GREAT!!!!!.....and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
