The summer of 2012 was hot!  We stayed the entire summer in Mesa, AZ.  We were running both of our A/Cs all night/all day.  Monthly charge for electricity alone neared $250.  That's on top of the site rent.  We were there so that I could have both my bunions operated on.  Eloise got away to Iowa a little while for her 50th HS reunion.  Yeah, I married an older woman.

So, for summer 2013, we hit the road again.  First stop was in Sedona.  Can you make out the coffee pot landmark?   This picture is a little small, it is pretty clear on our original.   
Such a great area for hiking, biking and taking in nature.  Of course we drove up the Oak Creek Canyon to the overview there.  I don't see how those indians selling jewelry can make a living...there are so many crammed side by side selling what looks like the same items.  Our campsite was near Cottonwood, along the Verde River.  There was more water in it than I'd seen before.  In years past we blew up our air mattresses and floated down the river.  Maybe we're getting old, but neither of us mentioned wanting to do that this year!

  
So, here we are at Nellis AFB which is close to Las Vegas, NV.  That shade tree at our site was really pretty.  It's called a Desert Willow, and blooms all summer.  We planted one at our rental place in Benson, AZ.  But ours is a dwarf hybrid.  We'll be pulling out of here on the 6th of May, heading up toward Reno where we are signed up to attend a square dance convention for next weekend.  Should be fun.  That should be our next update.  See ya!
