So, before the month is over, I want to touch on the highlights of our SE Arizona vacation. After a month at Double Adobe Ranch in McNeal, we are now at Hickiwan Trails RV Park in Why, AZ. There is a definite increase in temperature - at McNeal it was in the upper 60's and lower 70's, here we are close to the 90's. We are planning to stay a week and then move to Gila Bend to get our yearly supply of shrimp.

The month at Double Adobe Ranch went by in a flash. During the first week we went to observe the Sandhill Cranes a couple of times, explored Gleeson (an old mining ghost town), took a ride to the Slaughter Ranch Heritage Site and drove some back roads into the mountains. And of course we had to pay a visit to the Bakery Haus in Elfrida - not for the first or the last time! During the second week we did a walk across the border from Douglas to Agua Prieta, did more bird watching, drove through Rucker and Leslie Canyon and investigated the new fence between Mexico and the US from Coronado National Monument to Nogales. At Rucker Canyon we saw some deer and two Javelinas, but they were too fast for me to get a picture. Darn! During the third week we had snow overnight on Tuesday, but it was gone before noon. We checked on the Cranes and the Bakery. Last week we drove to Parker Canyon Lake and did the Geronimo Trail into New Mexico.

We had a great time and are ready for some more adventures here in Why. Make sure you check out the photos!
