How to catch up on so many days!!! The spires of Bryce Canyon in winter is majestic. We headed to Zion (pretty cold), then south to Phoenix (ah...warmth!). It was good to see Grandma and Frank; we spent several days with a boatload of relatives, watching football games and eating good food in the retirement community of Sun Lakes. Then headed back north with Anna & Joe in search of a hot springs. Took the camper off-road into some spectacular scenery, i.e., saguaro (sp) & barrel cactus, sagebrush, palo verde, creosote, and other natural wonders that Anna pointed out. Kent & Joe explored an old mine they found in the side of a mountain. Me and Anna hoped they wouldn't get "shafted" (we decided to stay outside in the sunlight) and told them not to make cave widows out of us. Soon after, we were back on the road. Spent an entire day roaming a Rock & Gem Pow Wow in Quartzsite, Arizona. It was fabulous. Left the desert and headed west toward the Pacific...
Drove through a wind farm north of Palm Springs that made us feel like we were plunked down in the middle of a sci-fi movie...really cool. And now...Santa Barbara. Great to hang with the boys and their friends, watching basetball, playing guitars, and yakking about life in general. The ocean was a welcome site, indeed
