Caddy Shack replacement








Our site in Phoenix is next to the golf course in Estrella Regional Park, one of three RV sites near the links. We noticed early this morning a four legged patrol next our nearest fairway. The handsome coyote walked the gopher line, stopping to tip his head and listen, then with the agility of a cat, jump into the air landing face first into the dirt. Nothing but dirt as we watched. Bill Murry would be impressed.

Before we arrived in Phoenix, we explored the mountain on the other side of the campground in Picacho Peak, only to learn that that area is off limits. Too bad, it has many interesting caves. We drove by the largest herd of dairy cows I have ever seen, as far as the eye could see, nothing but black and white and not a barn in site.

A few more days in Phoenix enjoying the warm weather and green and flowering areas where there is water. Yesterday we walked the old town area of Scottsdale, a nice stroll with lots of art galleries and eateries. On our trip back to the park we drove by Camel Back Mountain with it's high end homes and beautiful vistas.

  1. Will you be spending the entire winter in AZ or do you have plans to move elsewhere? The 70's sounds wonderful....we have had snow, rain, sleet and now below zero! Did Tiger see the coyote? Your pictures are not enlarging, am I doing something wrong? Peggy
