Now this little guy was a great surprise...Never say a real "Road Runner " before...The cartoon, "Wiley Coyote and the Road Runner" was my Dad's favorite cartoon ever...it was kind-of Nostalgic to see a real one...they are really cool...

Here you see one of the landscapes of the desert...now I know it is beautiful in God's eyes...it serves a purpose for those that love it and the habitat that thrives in this sort of climate...but as for me...I choose the "BPNW"....

This was kind-of an ominous looking cloud...don-cha think????

We started to get yhe picture...we were running into some inclimate weather...and boy did we!!!!!!!!!!! It poured...notice...where we were the sun was shinning...over on the mountain it was only black clouds...

Were here...in Benson, Arizona and this is the view in the back of "TAD". We got here about 6:45PM on Friday...we left "Desert Pools" at 9:30AM...Mike had "Dead Butt" when we got here. That was a two day drive all wrapped up into one...but we were anxious to bet to where Gene and Shirley were so that we could start traveling together, so Mike drove for over 9 hours instead of our 4 we promised to do in a day's trip...oh well, I want you to know that the sacrifice was worth it...

Gene and Shirley were waiting for us with an open bottle of wine and a great spahgetti dinner, to die for...in a NEW COACH...we couldn't even find them because we were looking for their Montana and their Big Truck...well...now they have a Brand Spankin' New, Alfa, SeeYa... gerogous coach...and much easier for them to handle than the 5th wheel and truck...Congrats...GENE & SHIRLEY...........pictures will come later...

This is one of the locals that I met yesterday morning...he is a very different looking quail from the ones that we saw in CA...Very interesting and very pretty...there are lots of them as well as other birds around here...the park managers have made it a bird sanctuary of sorts...I'll get pictures of the feeding area later on...

Just us girls havin' fun at dinner, it got cold outside so we had to come in for dinner..."TAD" is a little tight for 6 for dinner...but we managed...and had a great time doin' it!!! That's Shirley on the Left ansde Diane on the Right and yoiur's truly...

And here's the guys...on the left is "Scuba Dave" and on the Right is Gene...the boys were jawi' as much as us girls were...Oh yes, Mike was takin' the pictures...and by-the-way...he took the picture of the "Road Runner" too...you know...gotta' give credit where credit is due...

Today Mike gave "TAD" a very needed bath...as well as the Jetta...Now we are gonna go with Gene and Shirley, out to lunch and to Wally World and just to check out our new digs...so I'll have more to share later...at least I have you all caught up to now...have a great day all...
