Apache Junction, AZ

Twelve days in Apache Junction wasn't enough! The weather was fantastic. There are more trails to be hiked, more adventures to be had, more restaurants to try, more shops to be shopped, and cacti to bloom. But the best part of the visit was visiting with friends and making new ones.

Leon's best friend growing up, Greg, and his wife Elaine winter in Apache Junction which is the reason we stopped. Just like old times they worked on the truck when some Freon needed to be added to the a/c.

We made several trips to the swap meet and visited over meals more often than we needed to.

The Moose Lodge was the ideal place for us to enjoy the new solar panels. Several WINs rolled through while we were there, some we knew and some we met. One morning ten of us gathered for an impromptu hugs 'n mugs.

We were delighted to get to tour Barbara and Ron's new home after keeping up with the progress on her blog. They are fun people who we always enjoy being around.

Not all the time was spent playing. Leon did a little work on the motorcycle/bike rack.

He even got in a ride, but only one.

Apache Junction is a different kind of place to be so close to Phoenix. This is the horse parking section of the parking lot at the Elks Lodge.

We could stay and play and visit more but new adventures await. On to Nevada.
