Popular Hiking Destination

Thanksgiving was a little different for us this year, as this was the first time we weren't home with family. We started our day with a short hike in the Superstition Mountains to some ancient Indian petroglyphs. It was about a 4 mile round trip hike. On the way back out we encountered a Tarantula crossing the trail. He / She was about the diameter of a soda can. We thought that we got a couple of good pictures, but when we downloaded the pictures, there were none of the spider. The camera battery had died. So now we will be on the lookout for Tarantulas on our Thursday hikes. This was the first time we had seen one. Later that day we had a very nice Thanksgiving dinner at the community hall. The food was excellent, and we didn't have to do any of the work!!

Wednesday was a golf day for me. That went well, and I managed to shoot a 99 for 18 holes. So I've got the "break a hundred" out of the way. I played 9 holes today with the group from the park and shot a respectable 44 on a par 32. Joyce spent the majority of the day today at a holiday bazaar with a couple other ladies.

Tomorrow morning we have somebody coming in to measure for sunscreens for the windshield and front windows of the motor home. I started waxing the exterior a couple days ago, and will continue that over the weekend. And, I've been informed that the interior needs to be cleaned tomorrow also. That only takes a couple of hours, so there will still be time for relaxing in the sun. Temperatures have pretty much been in the 70's and are projected to stay that way for the next week. It's going to feel pretty cold when we get back home on the 13th of December.

Until next time, stay warm and dry,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Ernie
