Winter Quarters

Since we have been pretty stationary as far as location is concerned for February and most of March, I thought I would give you a "snapshot" of where we are and what we see. We have been staying at a Thousand Trails preserve in north-central Arizona in between Cottonwood and Camp Verde. This preserve is over 425 acres and located in the "high desert"..... high meaning an altitude of about 3200 feet.
Here are some pictures of the area... the recreation center and RV areas. The majority of the preserve is in it's natural state and there are many areas to hike and climb. The views are great where ever you look.
The staff here have an activity schedule that changes monthly. Some of the activities scheduled are: WII bowling, many different card games, pool - as in use a stick to send the ball in the pocket, golf, casino night - at the local casino run by Apaches, theme dinner parties, seminars geared to those on the road, craft fairs, pie and ice cream socials... just to name a few. You could be very busy if you wanted to. In addition there is a complete recreation facility with a pool and hot tub as well as all the other sports.... like tennis, basketball, vollyball and so on. And all that's here on the preserve.... the surrounding towns offer their own things too.
We have met many different people, from all over.
