Wickenburg,AZ 6/26/08







Hi all,
We're not in Las Vegas any more. We left Vegas at around 9 am. yesterday and went to Hoover Dam. By 10:30 am. the temp was already at 98. We had to park almost a mile away and we couldn't find a shuttle. Soo we just looked at the dam from waayyy up high and took off. Both boys and I were disappointed but we sort of made up for it later. When we got into AZ we stopped at Willow Creek Campground and boat launch. We had lunch there. The boys fed the ducks and waded in the river. It really was beautiful there. Not quite up to Hoover Dam standards but close.
Next we found a camp ground called Burro Creek. This was about a mile off of Highway 93 in AZ. It would have been great except it was about a 100 ft. above the water and straight down. Oh well, we decided to go on. A couple hrs. later we found a horse camp in Wickenburg, AZ. PERFECT for my boys. They were off looking for snakes, lizards, toads and bugs. They found a snake skin and a railroad trestle. They also could have found wild pigs. I would really rather they didn't.
It was sooooo nice to wake up this morning and have it cooler then when we went to bed. It's actually nice outside.
I hope to make it to Gila Bend this afternoon. Then on to Organ Pipe Park on Fri.
Well, you all have a good day and I'll try to write some tomorrow.
Jan
