November 29 Sunday 2009 Casa Crande Arizona
3 of us drive to Table Mountain for a hike in the desert. We first stop at a barnlike building. Aparrently someone built it to raise cattle (not finished) but he died before it was finished. We meet 2 cowboys next door who told us the story. They were there at their coral looking for their missing wild cows that were there yesterday but were missing today. Someone got to them . Apparently wild cows and horses roam the area. What they eat is beyond me. They also told us to look out for ailiens as this was the coridor for smugglers and drugs from Mexico. Sure enough we find backpacks, gas cans, empty water containers etc. Then we notice signs telling us the same thing put up by the government. We finally make it to the end of the gravel road where there are washrooms, picnic tables and camp sites. We follow the trail up to the mountain. We do not make it to the top. We left at 8:30 and came back by 4:30. Thank goodness I didn't have to cook dinner as Al invited us to his place for dinner. They are Canadians and she cooked a canadian dinner- salmon, home cooked pickled beets, home made Christmas cakes and minced mincemeat pies.
REMEMBER-Good things come from to those who wait.

Monday we got our flue shots ($25each) They came to the RV park. Shannon phones to say they are leaving Hawaii for Fiji and expect to arrive in 14 days. Today I hike with Al We go to some petroglyphs and see grave sites of an old mining area. I found it interesting that money was left on the grave sites.

November-16 Thursday 2009 Apache Junction
What a couple of days. Paul and Edith invite us to their place for overnight in Apache Junction just East of Phoenix. Our first stop is Canyon Lake then onto the Apache trail and Tortilla Flats. Over 100 years ago Tortilla flats was a thriving stage coach stop on the Apache trail. We go into the local bar. It is the first time Bill has had a beer at 10am, I have a coffee. This is quite a place dollar bills cover everything -wall and ceilings. Anaconda snake skin, and other strange memorabilia everywhere. The best was the bar stools- saddles. I found if difficult to get up on them . From Tortilla Flats the road winds up and down and around until the pavement ends. We descend to Fish Creek . Then we reach Apache trail vista camera time. We check out the marina with a restaurant, motel and campground. We also check out Burnt Creek Corral campground. Very pretty. Nice sites with good views. Next Roosevelt Dam , a 2 story building is dwarfed by it's 280 feet height. The largest masonry dam in the world. Back to pavement and continue the circle to Miami and Globe and Apache Junction. Home to a delicious salmon dinner after wonderful jalipino peppers stuffed with chicken barbecued YUM YUM .
REMEMBER-Life will always bring you new blessings to count

November 14 Saturday 2009 Casa Grande Arizona
We paid $105 for 3 weeks including WIFI, 50 amp power, water and sewer. (no free phone or cable the park has a patio sale ( in front of your rig). I do not find anything I need but got a good walk. Temperature in the low 70's . It rains for 1 hour at noon. An up date on Shannon and Ethan. The left Victoria BC Sunday November 9th for Hawaii. It should take them 14 days. The water was rather nasty. They were taking on 15 foot seas on the beam for 3 days, nothing CV9 can't handle. Simply uncomfortable. The weather is to improve tomorrow. After Hawaii they will take another 14 days for Fiji where the boat will be for Christmas.
REMEMBER- You cannot always control what goes on outside. But you can always control what goes on inside.

November 9,-12 We walk with Peg in the mornings, We go thrifting and return to Tubac to see the galleries I missed because of the concert. We go to the bead shop. Peg and Gerry have a neighborhood hotdog roasting fire. I love their yard so many birds and cottontail rabbits. We listen to the coyotes howl in the evening. We never did get the bedroom slide fixed.
