Nothing Exciting

Well, we have been in Arizona for the past seven days and have just worked toward settling in our new environment.  It is definitely warmer here than in Kanab...low 90s and a lot dryer.

Before we left, we went to Best Friends.  It is America's largest no-kill animal sanctuary.  It is in an incredible beautiful area of Kanab.


On our way down from Kanab to AZ we stopped in Flagstaff, AZ for one night.  We got there early enough to spend a few hours in the Cindars, an area of Volcanic significance.  We took the Jimmy and went off roading.

This is all volcanic rock that has the consistency of sand.  Gordo didn't care much for it.  He had a bit of trouble getting enough of a grip to jump back into the Jimmy.

















We stayed at a great KOA in Flagstaff, AZ.  We had a nice camp site with a table and an above ground fire pit.  Unfortunately, we didn't stay long enough to use them.
We finally made our way to Buckeye on November 2nd.  Wade Sr. wanted to off load the truck in the middle of the day (93 degrees out) and ended up with a mild case of heat exhaustion!  Barfed and everything.

The upside was that we got to see our son that night.  We had him over to the RV for steaks.  It is so great to get my hands on him.  I haven't seen him since Christmas last year!


This is Wade Jr. in uniform!  Go Air Force!

For the most part we have been helping Wade Jr. with finding a new rental house.  I found a great place to do kickboxing.  It's a little far but I really like the teacher and the other students.

We were also swimming a lot in the campground pool until the most recent cold snap.

Wade has been volunteering at a local gun range.  He gets free range time for his work.

Over all, we are settling into a routine and having a nice time here.
