To visit with friends in Phoenix, we head to the hills west of the city and the Ft.McDowell Indian reserve. Across from the casino which we never enter is a first class RV resort. If only Tsuu Tina could emulate this at the end of our road instead of planning small industrial complex...
We get one of the last spaces and had to delay our trip into the city a week to get it. But we can stay 4 days over the weekend which is busy for them.
We are greeted the first evening coming home after dark by a small group of the wild horses that live i this area, with thier little foal. We didn't see any javelinas this time, but have seen them in the past.
Driving into the city, we pass through a lovely residential area - Fountain Hills, with huge mansions overlooking splendid views.
We've stayed here before a few times so we know the area pretty well.
It's now 33 every day, stinking hot by 3pm, really pool time but we have lots to do.
First day we head round the city, about 30 miles away but just half an hour drive - the roads here are just amazing. We spend the evening with ski pals Lloyd & Sigrun and friends Mia and Don, whom we met last year here. Their cantina at the resort has mariachi night with Mexican food (so-so) and e have a lot of fun with that.
Next day friends Mary & ark pick us up at the resort as they are in Scottsdale, also only about half an hour away. AFter lovely patio lunch downtown, we stroll the Old Scottsdale area and go to the annual art sale, full of lovely pieces of various forms of art. But by 3pm it's 33 and sweltering so the guys walk back and bring the car and we go to a beautiful golf course for cold drinks overlooking the palms mountains and keeners on teh golf course.
It's too hot to eat two meals a day so we enjoy snacking and grazing the rest of the time.
