Cold!

 We are in Evanston, WY at Phillips RV Park. It's a nice, small park that has been in the Phillips family since 1936. It has changed a lot over the years. Unfortunately the site we have, has a big tree that blocks my satellite. So Starlink to the rescue. We stream Dish network on the Starlink. The town of Evanston has a railroad history and tank cars are manufactured here. 

We had to figure out how to use the furnace in the RV. We've never been anywhere this cold. It got down to 26 our first night. I had to take the furnace apart and adjust the fan switch to get it to work. Good thing I know how it works.

Snow not too far away.

When we were in Clarkdale, AZ we went to Montezuma Castle National Monument. The park protects a set of well preserved dwellings located in Camp Verde, AZ, which were built and used by the Sinagua people in approximately 1100 AD.

It was a very interesting tour. We used Peggy's geezer pass to get us in free!

Pretty high up on the cliff.

This is Bridle Veil falls on the side of the road on our way here. We see some of the most beautiful places on our trips.

If you look really close I think there's a mountain goat on the side of this mountain.

Just a couple miles from our park is Bear River State Park where they have some rare white Bison.

And some regular ones.


I was watching YouTube the other night and came across Big Green Eggs 50th anniversary show and we are in it. Here is a link to the show Big Green Egg 50th

We had dinner at the Iron Horse in Kanab, UT. And these raccoons are pretty wild.

Second Stop

 We've started our summer trip. We left Fortuna Foothills on May 1st. Our first stop was Prescott, AZ. We love the town. Whiskey Row downtown was pretty cool with some history. The original Palace Grill burned down in 1900, but before it got too bad the patrons carried the bar out across the street and sat drinking watching it burn down. 

The Palace Grill.


We had a great lunch at the Palace Grill. The staff dress in 1900's costume.


Our first stop on Whiskey Row was Matt's. It's a nice old bar. 


The drive to Prescott was really beautiful. Up in some mountains and a bypass thru Skull Valley. It's a really small town with a cool name. 


We stayed at the Fairgrounds RV Park in Prescott Valley. It had big, pull thru sites. And wouldn't you know, there would be ONE tree in the park that was blocking my dish! Good thing we have Starlink, I could stream Dish network and we could get all our stations.

Our second stop is Clarkdale, AZ. It's close to Sedona and Cottonwood. We did a day trip to Sedona where we stopped at Sedona Brewery and had a beer and pretzel. 
The view of the mountains was very pretty. The beer was pretty expensive, $8.50. I guess you have to pay for the view.


 We're at Rain Spirit RV Park, it's only a couple of years old and is very nice. We'll be coming back here. The Moose is just down the street.

They have beautiful cacti all over the park. 

We have a nice, big lot at the end of the row with a great view.


Katie relaxing on the step of the RV. We got a request for more Katie pictures so here you go.
Katie relaxing on her pillow chair. That's about all she does is relax. She's relaxing next to me as I write this blog.
