Gila Bend 6/26/08




Hi everyone,


We're starting to make alittle progress.we made it all the way to Gila Bend today.We did make one slight detour. i saw a sign for the Wildlife Woodland Zoo when we were just about to take I-10 to our next road. I asked the boys if they wanted to go to a zoo in AZ. B hollers YEAH!!, so we went. It was a very nice zoo. Not huge but more then respectable.The grounds were clean the animals looked cared for and the people were very nice and helpful. Our only complaint was IT WAS VERY ,VERY HOT.We really enjoyed the day.Both boys found lots of Peacock feathers.


After the zoo we got back on the road for Gila Bend.We got here around 1:30pm. Decided it was lunch time, so we stopped at a Dairy Queen. Had a GREAT lunch AND alittle dessert.ICE CREAM. I haven't had ICE CREAM in months.D was saying he was too full .So I told him Pappas theory on ice cream.[If you've eaten all your meal ,Ice cream doesn't count as dessert because it just melts and fills in all the holes].So we all had ICE CREAM.


We went to the only RV camp ground in Gila Bend and we're here for the nite. We plan on leaving early for Organ Pipe Park. Then Tuscon.


The boys are out terrorizing the local lizards,snakes and bugs. They[the boys] should be back any min. It's almost dark.We are now down to taking picts.of rattle snakes instead of taking their rattles and eating the meat. It's amazing what the threat of bodily harm can do.




I'll talk to you more another day
