March 2012

March has come and gone …………. Where oh where does all the time go?

2012 was Outdoor Resorts 4^th Annual “Sunshine Event” – A two to three day series of events (everything you can think of) to raise money for the Cancer Society.  This year, we raised $41,300 – Unbelievable!  This is a fella selling Tequila shots!

In the evening, all of the luminaries were lit and placed around the swimming pool.  It was very solemn and gave us all time to reflect on the wonderful people with cancer
who have touched our lives.

The colors in March are fantastic. 
This is a picture of the back of our lot.  

My nephew, Scott married his sweetie this month. 
Don’t they look happy?

We drove over to Lake Havasu for three days to visit friends that spend the winter there.  This is a picture of the famous “London Bridge” – every brick numbered, the bridge taken apart – transported to Havasu and reassembled. 
We had a great time with our friends.

The last week of the month, we took the motorhome over to Apache Junction (about an hour east of Phoenix) for a Jeeping Rally.  100 motorhomes – 100 Jeeps – about 200 people.  The Jeepin’ people are all wonderful ….. we have made so many friends among them. 

Apache Junction is in the Sonoran Desert – the elevation is about 2000 feet. There thousands and thousands of Saguaro Cacti located here. They are everywhere…… most of them are huge – approx. 30 feet tall.  They are beautiful.

The rally has plenty of time to socialize too. 
This was taken at one of our dinners.

The desert here is beautiful. 
This is a Stag Horn Cactus in bloom.

The Gila River  …… water is an unusual sight in the desert.

The Hedge Hog Cactus are all blooming their beautiful magenta blooms. 
There is quite a bit of color in the desert.
