Tonight's Sunset over The Arizonian RV Park


Mother Cholla leans toward the evening sun to absorb the nourishing rays. Her offspring healthy from the recent rains. It's going to be a great spring!

Our favorite mountain - Superstition - How blessed we are to have it in our back yard! 

Hi God!!!! (waving hand)

The sky looked like it was on fire for a couple of minutes!

Desert Green and Sunsets - February 23 & 24, 2019

The cool weather is moving out and the sun shines warmly down on the desert around us. The breezes coming through the cold and snow covered mountains are holding our temps in check for now.  Plenty of water is running through the washes and that will only increase as the snow in the mountains melts and rushes toward the Gila River.

Superstition Mountain - my favorite!  This is OUR Back yard!

The following pictures were taken Sunday 2/24/2019

Taken while flying toward the mountain. Kind of a cool effect!

As the sun sets, the colors on the mountain and clouds are ever changing

The snow bands are getting more narrow. This mountain is roughly 5,000' tall.

This is a special 180 degree panorama. I hope it looks good on your PC. You may need to click on the picture to get full resolution.

Snowy visit to Roosevelt AZ

Some of us were bored silly yesterday (Saturday) and had to get out. I rode Shot-Gun with Clay Hadley and Mickey the Mooch-Pooch, Jerry and Nancy Rich along with Wonder-Dog Eddie were in their Jeep. We were headed toward Young on 288 looking for snow... Well, we found plenty as the road in the mountains closed maybe 15 miles in due to a Spun-out/Stuck plow truck. We got out and played in the snow a little while, took some pictures and headed back to civilization. We missed Dar on this trip, but she had a project in the Sewing room that just kept calling her name.
Uploading from PC so pictures are out of order. Also a short video I made - it’s all of 2 minutes long, so be sure your comfortable before clicking...

We're only at about 3,000' here and there is a TON of snow. Very rare indeed

Clay Hadley's Jeep - Well - He tried to pull into an unplowed parking area and we got stuck.  Jerry had to yank us out of the snow with his Jeep.  The snow was deep and very wet/heavy.  

Well at least we got some of the muck off the undercarriage when we were hung up in the snow.

Nancy is very happy - She's a Snow Lover!

Yeah, it really does say "Closed" 

Yeah, the clouds are coming right down the mountain. It would have been cool to be above the clouds, but we opted to just not push our luck.

Clay and Mickey playing in the snow. Mickey LOVES rolling in snow!

The cactus look so lost in the snow.  Just to give you some perspective - The Saguaro (cactus with arms) are probably 30-40' tall. 

Just some gOOfy guy out in the snow...

Mickey didn't want to stop!
