The weather the last couple of days has been about perfect. 85 degrees during the day and near 50
degrees for a low at night. Yesterday was a day when we did not have a lot planned and therefore not a lot happened. I did pick up a spring for the brake in the van as it has a tendency to keep the brake lights on thus the brake indicator in the motor home on as well. After a couple of rough spots in the road it will go off. Just needs a little more tension on it to return to the stop. Today, we took off about noon and went to Superstition Springs shopping center to return some things and make a visit to the Dairy Queen for a bite of ice cream. Back to Walmart for a couple of things and back home. This evening we hosed off the carport floor and did some cleaning for Nancy B. Tomorrow we will go to a funeral for a good friend of Nancy's and a person we have had lunch with on several occasions, so we felt that we knew her fairly well.
The photos are from the top of Reflector Mountain taken when we took the 4 wheeler up the mountain trail. You can click on the photos and enlarge them considerably. In the top photo you can see our motor home parked next to the lake near the 4th jetty from the right. In the other photos you can see the cultivated fields where they are raising all kinds of things. This soil is rich, only lacking water to make things grow. I did notice that they would not fertilize when they planted, but would add the nutrients to the water
they irrigated the area.
The views from the top of this mountain were spectacular. You can see for several miles in all directions.
Dan and I really enjoyed the trip up and down the mountain, however Karen, Dan's wife and Evelyn got a bit concerned about the two of us making this trip as we both are wheelchair bound and if something happened, there would not be much we could do.
However, it all went well and thinking back, if may not have been the smartest thing we ever did, but it was fun anyway.
