Friday, December 16th - Day 14 - Some Scenery

 I spent 3 hours this morning searching for a campground in the Phoenix area. I found lots of campgrounds, but I'm to cheap to pay $60-80/night for a place with a pool and hot tub that we won't use when the high temperatures are in the mid 70's. Also, I'm not keen about staying in one that is fenced with chainlink and where previous campers describe the area as "sketchy". (I don't have enough ammo with  me.)

After that I finally got the car washed. It had a coating of scum on it after being towed behind the motorhome in the rain.





While washing the car I noticed that a Super C RV near us has Alaska plates. Didn't see the travelers. 

The it was off to Omar's Hi-Way Chef restaurant, another place we had eaten at when we were here 11 years ago. The service and food is good but the prices are surprisingly high for a truck stop restaurant.



Then we took a drive out south of the fairgrounds. We stopped south of Corona De Tucson and I took some photos from the location of the red dot.
Looking SSE
Looking South
Looking SSW
Looking SW
Looking east.
When you stand and slowly turn a complete circle it appears that you are in a valley surrounded by mountains.

Heading back north, towards the fairground. Note the road sign on the right. We encountered multiple cattle crossings/guards across the paved surface as we traveled down this road. Fences came up to the edge of the paved surface on both sides of the road at each crossing. After the first crossing one of these signs said "Open Range", some just showed a cow. There were not fences running parallel along the edges of the road. The photo is looking north.

Lord willing we will drive to Phoenix tomorrow, and spend two nights there before heading over to Cathedral City, CA.

God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours.
