Bye Bye California

We packed up Thursday and Friday morning, preparing to leave Caliente Springs, starting our trek home.  It's amazing.  I worried about the little hummingbird all week, wondering if she would ever fly - maybe her wing was damaged, or something.  Gerard took Tibby out yesterday morning and noticed the bird was still there.  When we were finishing up with the trailer to leave, I took a look and she was GONE!  Hallelujah!  And she wasn't on the ground either (I checked).  Something about that - she left the same day we left.  Hmmm.

It was about 2 hours to the Arizona state line (the Colorado River).  We stopped at an associated RV park (associated with Caliente Springs) right on the Colorado River to check it out for a possibility next year.  Some nice spots on the river.  The park is OK, so we'll see.

We carried on to Apache Junction, east of Phoenix.  Traffic was a bit of an issue around Phoenix, but we made it here (Sunrise RV Resort) around 4:15 pm.  This is another one we're considering for next year.  The park is beautiful.  Lots to do within the resort itself.

My cousins, who stay in Mesa for the winter, were not available for drinks.  One left on Monday, and the other one was leaving today.  They had dinner plans with friends for their last night.  If we had been here earlier in the day, it would have worked (darn Phoenix traffic).  In any case, we oriented ourselves with the park a bit.

They have lots of rabbits running around.  Here's one.

Nice little park area, within the RV park, to walk through.  

So today we'll get out and see the area a bit.
