Had a great weekend, went to a huge outdoor Fair, and car show.  Enjoyed checking out all the local artisans,  and music.  

The resort has a lot of things to do, this week we will be going to a couple of music venues.  Doris is busy working her ceramics.  Im working my carving.  The resort just started a survey to see if there is interest in a wood shop, and a lot of people have signed up.  We have a couple of plays lined up and we haven't even started much activity outside the resort.  

We are planning a trip up to Apache Junction, Sonoma, Tombstone and the Grand Canyon.

We have been scoping out the Park models here, some as low as $26,000 to an average with an Arizona Room attached $49,000.  We figure we will continue our RV camping and leave the possibility open for a park model in the future.

Maricopa / Gila Bend - Petroglyphs

Image
We hit the road again today and went to the Maricopa / Gila Bend Petroglyph site.  Ancient native americans carved symbols into the rock, which are preserved to this day.  There were quite a few at this site and a few instances of people from the 1800's making their mark. It was a crisp beautiful day, temps have been low for here, was about 58 today.   Although the weather has been a bit cool for here the past couple weeks as you can see by the weather app, we will be seeing a 25 degree change in the coming week.   S topped at an artistic store in Gila Bend, and admired the rusted metal sculptures. We'll let you know when we are on the road again, took the scenic route back from the petroglyphs on the Maricopa highway.  Well worth the slower pace.

What is the Weather Like?

WEATHER We have heard that this is an unusual year in Arizona.  Temperatures have been pretty moderate, and sometimes just downright cold.  We had a couple of days of rain... I mean all day.  The ground here isn't used to absorbing that much rain all at once, so we had small rivers running down the street.  Of course they new this and designed the streets so they are deeper in the middle than on the sides.  But if you wait long enough it will warm up in a hurry and this week it is starting to heat up.   CHURCH We go to church here at the resort, and it's a good old fashioned service, with good old fashioned people.  Sing hyms from a hymnal, responsive reading and a down to earth sermon.  The pastor trys to use some stories to illustrate his sermons.  Here is his from last week.   There was this 85 year old man sitting on the park bench crying.  A policeman came up to see what was wrong.  He asked ...

Casa Grande Domes

Image
This last week Doris and I visited the Casa Grande Domes.  This site is just down the road from us, but is basically in the middle of the desert.  You will see by the pictures that the Domes are crumbling now and it wasn't advisable to enter them.   The story behind the Casa Grande Domes The Domes were built in 1983 by InnerConn Technology Inc., a manufacturer of circuit boards for computers and watches. In 1982, the owner of InnerConn, announced plans to relocate the company headquarters from California to the 135-acre site in Casa Grande, AZ. The unusual shape and composition of the structures was chosen for its relatively low cost, speedy construction time, and efficient insulation. Each structure took approximately six weeks to build and cost about $150,000 apiece. Construction went something like this: After the foundations were complete, giant balloons were mounted onto them, supported by steel skeletons. A coating of polyurethane foam was applied to t...
