On to Arizona

We enjoyed the rest of our stay at Padre Island and hated to leave. However, we are planning on being at Parker, Arizona on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Michael, one of our sons, is racing his boats and all our boys will be there. It will be great to see them after our last six months of travel. We debated on where to stay next but ended up deciding to just do a couple of days of long travel and head towards Roper Lake in Safford, Arizona. We stayed there in June and it is one of our favorite places so far.

This is the view from our site. We arrived on Saturday and were just hoping to get any spot and then moving to one with a view of the water on Sunday when the weekenders leave. However, we were pleasantly surprised to find the same spot we had last time we were here open. Some of the best spots are non-reservable and so though most of the campground was pretty filled a few of the water view spots were open. Luckily for us. We plan on staying here until Friday and will then head for Parker, which is about a 6 or so hour drive.
