Buckeye Arizona

We drove to Buckeye yesterday (about 240 miles), through some very scenic desert landscapes. It was a pleasant drive, it took 5 hours to get here, just right.

This park is really nothing special but the sites are level (gravel), they have 50AMP power, the people are friendly, and the sun shines. It isn’t far off the freeway so there is that traffic in the background, but it didn’t disturb our sleep. We sat outside and played cards (cribbage) until the sun started to go down.

Guess who kicked butt, he,he.

 

 

Speaking of sunsets we had a beautiful one yesterday evening.

Today we are going to try to see Gloria’s cousin who was recently involved in a motorcycle accident. We called yesterday and he was in the process of being discharged from the rehab center and going home. He is still in a great deal of pain and we don’t want to impose.

We will surely have to explore the local area and see what is around here. There is a Western Horizon resort not far that we will probably check out for a future visit, maybe next winter.

By the way I have updated the map on the right and was able to put the pin almost exactly at our site in the park. Enlarge the map and you can zoom in, then click satellite view and see a picture of the place.

More Later, Rich
