When we left Phoenix to drive the RV towards Denver for the STC Summit, we went to Munds Park before heading east on Interstate 40.

Arizona: Patterns in black and white (2019)
I've always been drawn to patterns with my camera, so of course I saw the pattern in this overhang. We attended a Spring Training game at newly remodeled Peoria Sports Complex in March, 2019.

This was the first time we encountered an RV space that was hard to level and back into. … Continue reading Arizona: Tuzigoot National Monument (2017)
Arizona: Desert Botanical Garden (2018)

This was our first trip in the RV to a state park for the weekend. We left Phoenix and traveled up Interstate 17 northbound, towards Cottonwood and Dead Horse Ranch State Park.
