Back in AJ

Apache Junction, AZ  High 94  Low 65

We left Las Vegas Monday morning and drove 230 miles which is a long day for us. However, that only left us with 100 miles back to our spot.

We spent last night in Wickenburg at Constellation Park. It’s a city or county park with 31 boondocking sites for $5 a night. It’s a wonderful campground and overlooks Wickenburg so you have gorgeous views.

We were the only ones there and the police patrol the area. Very safe, quiet and beautiful. The sites are huge.

And look at this sunset to welcome us back to AZ. Every picture we took was incredible and I made Jim narrow it down to these two.

We arrived back at our spot about 11:30 and spent the rest of the afternoon visiting and doing nothing. It was wonderful. Going to see Aunt Happy in the morning.

  1. So you're all settled in for the winter. It will take us a couple more weeks.

  2. Gorgeous Arizona sunsets for sure. Now the settling in comes in. Temperatures should start to feel perfect and at least you won't have to worry about snow.

  3. Hi There, Trying to keep up with your travels... We have made two trips west --and the LEAST favorite place we visited was Las Vegas... We just don't like the glitz and crowds.. Glad we saw it one time --but probably will never go back there... Not our cup of tea!!!!!

    That last sunset is AWESOME. Wow!!!
    Hugs,
    Betsy

    Now sit back and relax and enjoy the winter (already???).

  13. I think Wickenburg was one of the few things I liked about AZ. It's a sweet little town.

  15. Nice to be home after being away during the summer. You made it just in time for the "cooler" weather. At least here at Q, and it looks like most places in AZ. Enjoy! :)
