Perfect Weather

We started the week in Page, Arizona with full intentions of spending the week touring and checking out the area.  Sunday morning was a beautiful day so we decided to take a drive out to Horseshoe Bend which is a horseshoe shape of the Colorado River – a very scenic spot which is often photographed and displayed in articles featuring the American Southwest. Unfortunately, my photos really don't do it justice!!

There is a lot of red rocky areas.  It looks like slices of rock were pushed - quite amazing we find.

The weather prediction said – high winds, cold, chance of rain and/or snow flurries.  Enough said so we decided that our plan was going to change.  That afternoon the wind blew and continued through most of the night.  Come morning, the wind had died down, we looked outside – no snow, so we packed up and headed south down the road.  While we didn’t get any snow, it was obvious that some areas did get some of that white stuff as we saw a lot of vehicles with an inch or two of snow on their roof.  And any snow removal from the windows was often haphazard at best – a swipe with the hand, and they were good to go.  It was warm enough that the snow on the pavement quickly melted although it did create that road grime splash.

We got down to Tucson and the sun was shining and the temperatures were exactly what we were looking for.  We found a spot to  park temporarily; however, we quite like what we found so will likely stay here for a couple of weeks which is the maximum length we can stay.


We went for a drive out into the country and it seems that there is a lot of cotton grown.  In past years when we saw cotton fields in this area at this time, the fields are mostly harvested.  I don’t know if perhaps we were later in the year, or maybe the crops were later, but the fields seem to be quite green although we did see one field being harvested.

Since we did hit some mucky roads, it was also time to clean up the motorhome so it is now polished and waxed.  This means that we can spend the next week or so enjoying the incredibly lovely weather that we are now getting and  to check out more of the area.


I hope everyone has a great week and hopefully you will stop by again!!
