The "home away from home" with new window coverings
Stock tank for cattle and wildlife
Old abandoned gold mine
The starting point for the hike
Taking a break along the trailWe got back to Apache Junction on the 30th of December just in time for a 70th birthday party for our Moses Lake friend Mike. We didn't get back to the RV park until well after dark. All survived in our absence.
Monday January 1st found me on the golf course for another humility lesson. Just when you think things are going well, reality jumps up to knock you back down. The good thing is that "there's nowhere to go but up!!" Tuesday we had sun screens installed on the motorhome, and Wednesday I went with the 4 wheeling group for the day into some old Arizona gold mining country. It was hot and dusty, and no gold laying around on the ground. Thursday we went for a 6 mile hike into the back country with the hiking group. We were all glad that we didn't go any farther than that. Thursday night was my first ever win at the Hand and Foot (card game) tournament. Friday found me back on the golf course with the golf group. There was improvement over Monday's outing.
Saturday we took a drive to Winkleman, Arizona to check on Georsetti's Grocery. We had gone there last March, and were curious if they were still operating. They are celebrating their 100th anniversary. The store was started by the grandparent's of the current operators, and hasn't changed much. Pretty cool.
Now we're up to date again, so "stay tuned for next week's adventure"..........Ernie

The new window covers are nice, I guess now you don't feel like you live in a fish bowl.

Love the pics of the hikes you go on! Hope you see another tarantula! We're supposed to get snow by Sunday night, into the beginning of the week - ugh! Not looking forward to that!
Snow Report: We got 3" of snow, mostly melting now, BUT we're expecting 7-14" on Wednesday - YIKES!
