“In a gentle way, you can shake the world.” …..Mahatma Gandhi

RVing and outdoor recreation is big time in Arizona on this Veteran’s Day weekend. Although the campground was full, the accommodating park rangers at Lake Pleasant State Park welcomed us to fill up our fresh water tank and dry camp/boon dock down on the spillway. So now we have our own lakeside retreat. Very nice indeed! Fantastic weather sunny 😎 and a dry 82 just north of Phoenix in this water craft and camping playground.

One side of the canyon is the lake and the other side desert 🌵 hiking trails. Saguaros as far as the eye can see. The life span of these amazing armed cacti can exceeed 150 years and it may take 75 to 100 years for the first arm to begin to grow!

Dos Leggos is moving east friends, taking in the desert landscapes of the American Southwest. Traffic was a nail biter through Pasedena and San Bernardino valley but the Miller Brewery had a pretty cool curbside appeal. We have passed numerous windmill farms out west but the stretch past Palm Springs, California had to be the biggest, looking like synchronized dancers across the breeze. Making the miles count! Always something interesting to see and share with y’all!

We want to thank and salute all of our family members and friends that serve and have served in the United States 🇺🇸  armed forces to keep our country safe, free, and the best and blessed nation in the world! God Bless our veterans and God Bless the USA 🇺🇸!

Happy Saturday from the open road! n&j 🌅🇺🇸
