Colorado River Oasis Ehrenberg, AZ

We are having a great time here in Ehrenberg.  The folks here are as friendly as those we met last year.  Of course it helps that we have been joined by our good friends, full timers Harold and Pam, plus those wacky Coloradans Donna and Bill.  These folks are a hoot to be with.  In addition to playing games, going out to eat, and visiting, Bill, Harold, and I have been going for some long hikes in the desert.  I really like the desert southwest and the stark scenery.  It seems as though that you can see forever.

There has been some rain in the past couple of weeks so things are starting to green up.  These Octillo cactus looked like dead sticks, after the rain they transform themselves and start to bloom. Mother nature doesn’t give them much time to do their thing.

We are both getting some much needed exercise with me hiking with the guys and Gorgie going to the daily walk off the pounds classes. Boy do we sleep good.

The other day we had a rainstorm and afterwards there was the most beautiful rainbow that we have ever seen.

It was one of those rare double arches that were so large that getting the whole thing in one picture was not possible.

Today is another stormy day so maybe we will be treated to another show this evening.

More Later, Rich
