| We headed out of the gray Washington weather in search of sun and warm temperatures. What we ran into was a blizzard just outside of San Diego and then this snow/hail storm in downtown Phoenix. |
 |
| In fairness to Arizona, it really has been very nice for most of our stay here. We connected up with some friends from Easton, WA who have a winter home here. We had a great barbeque and enjoyed the sunset lighting up the nearby Superstition Mtns. |
 |
| We paid a quick visit to Millie's 92 year old Aunt Helen who she has not seen since she was 11 (Millie was 11 :)) |
 |
| We made the Jeep happy by taking a 22 mile dirt trail that wound around the hills and valleys just east of the city. |
 |
| This desert is much more interesting and vibant than we remembered. Forests of Saguaro cactus and many other varieties of plants that we can't name. No snakes or scorpions this time of year but they are out here somewhere. We will stay for another week and then head for home. |
