Arizona with Friends in Mesa

Usery Mountain Regional Park
Next stop, just east of Phoenix, was a regional campsite near Mesa to enjoy a visit with Cheryl and Pete.














On the way to Tortilla Flats

We ventured out to Torilla Flats, an old site for the stagecoaches. It was a spectacular ride through Superstition Mountain Range. A hydroelectric dam created a lake in the middle of know where.










Superstition Mountains
We stopped for lunch before returning to Carriage Manor, their home, to get the tour of another Retirement Park.














Home grown grapefruit
We found their are so many wonderful, engaging communities in Arizona. Here they also keep the fees down by encouraging volunteerism. You basically get what you put into your community and it has paid off for the residents.

















I had my first fresh picked grapefruit. How cool would that be to have a fruit tree in your own yard.

















Gettin Around Car
Or even better yet to be able to ride around in this baby.




















Gourdfest at Pinal County Fairgrounds
One of many gourd art displayed
On the way out of town we stopped by a Gourdfest, to see what's new and pick up a few more to practice on.



















On our way again and just when some of the desert plants are beginning to bloom.
