| Picacho Peak State Park |
Many choose to get out of Wisconsin for the winter, some forever. We wanted to find out why.
So during our trip to Arizona we visited friends to see what they found so alluring about the desert.

We stayed at Picacho Peak State Park for a few nights while we planned our visit with John and Linda who chose Palm Creek Golf and RV Resort in Casa Grande as a winter haven.

| Lawn Bowling |
After a tour of the property, seeing all the numerous activities, was really quite impressive. From art studios for silver smithing and stained glass to various clubs for pickle ball and lawn bowling to name a few.

If you get bored it's your own fault.

| Swim and Soak |

| Indoor Skydiving |
They also gave us a tour of one of their favorite pastimes at Skydive Arizona in Eloy, watching the jumpers. This is quite the operation for beginners to training military groups, I guess it's the largest of its kind in the US. It was too windy for any jumpers but we still enjoyed the indoor skydiving at Skyventure.

| Casa Grande Ruins National Monument |
Before leaving the area we stopped at the areas national monument. One of the first preserved dwellings from the originals peoples of the Sonoran Desert. We also enjoyed programs on ground owls and native mammals. It was so nice to enjoy our National Treasures again.
Next just a few sightings at Picacho Peak State Park.
