On the Road - February 2024

 I'm back on the road, this time to Arizona to see friends before I head north.

I left Dawsonville on the 23rd, with the goal of being in Florence, AZ on the 29th.

I stopped in Fort Stockton for 2 nights to go to Big Bend National Park (finally!)  The drive over was beautiful - the desert is really starting to bloom.


The Rio Grande river isn't very wide!

I stopped for a night in Silver City, NM to see Darlene and Stan Messick.  They never change and we had a good visit.  They invited me to stay for supper.  It snowed that night, just enough to have to sweep it off the car!



On the way to Florence, I stopped in Benson to have breakfast with Kathie and Cliff Sklenar.  A great visit, we hadn't seen them since 2021.



The last few days have been a blast.  Susan flew down from Rapid, and JoAn Wade got us adjoining rooms at the RV park that she and Chuck manage.  This is such a charming park.  It's an old ranch from the 30's and the rooms we're in were the bunkhouse.  They overlook a lovely courtyard.  I just took Susan back to the airport this morning - we had so much fun!  We went to Tombstone - ate at Big Nosed Kate's, we've spent time with JoAn and Chuck, and Glenda and Tom (from Hart Ranch) are also working here. We went to the Hart Ranch get together in Casa Grande.  We packed a lot in to just a couple of days!








Tomorrow (the 5th) I head to Palm Springs to spend a few days with Andrew and Doug.  I can't remember the last time we saw them!
