Scottsdale, etc

Having a great time. We made some friends and here is a picture of Sharry and Kevin hanging the american flag on Sharry's fifth wheel with Gary supervising. We went to Scottsdale for a visit and the Saguaro Cactus are everywhere and according to Tracey, we had to try Pinnicale Pete Patio(PP Patio) and it is an amazing place and yes, Tracey, the steaks are amazing...if you wear a tie when you are there, they will cut it off and hang it.....See the ties hanging and also the business cards, amazing....I officially retired my business card to the wall there so if you ever visit the restaurant it is the 3rd window from the end.We will celebrating Thanksgiving this week with friends we made here so 4 of the trailers(Sharry, Davette, Mandy and Kevin and families) will be joining us for a potluck supper on Saturday.

Some of my favourite cactus in Arizona

My favourite is what I call Stick Person "Saguaro Cactus". It is the state flower of Arizona. Here is 2 pictures of Prickly Pear Cactus, one with the fruit on it and the other one is in a pink color. It is a plant that is edible from the fruit on it to the flat pieces and they sell it in the stores. No I have not tried it yet...Also, this morning the Good Year Blimp went by and here is the Picture.....As youcan see we are having a great time..

Cotton Fields, etc

The cotton fields here is amazing and I had to take pictures of them. Eastman Gin is the last of the original cotton gins in Buckeye Valley. They are almost ready to harvest the cotton but wanted to get pictures before the field was bare. Very interesting to see. I got my best sunset picture tonight with the cactus I call "Stick Person".....Love the look of them and to see them close is amazing but their needles can pierce your tire interesting enough...Also, in the desert behind me where I take Colby for his walk I was told were rattlesnakes and scorpions....Haven't see any yet but believe me I have not been looking and I don't go near any bushes....

Parker Dam and London Bridge

We decided to visit London bridge in Lake Havasu City which was 3 hr drive thru the desert. When we arrived in Parker, it was like we came into an Oasis after travelling for 2 1/2 hrs in the desert, it was amazing to see the green lush town.Parker Dam supplied Los Angelos with their water supply. The sunset picture was taken by the park and I got the cactus with it.... Amazing....London Bridge was purchased by Lake Havasu City when it was taken down brick by brick and reassembled . You drive over it to get across part of the lake ....Great to see. It was an excellent day. See my pictures....
