"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime"-MARK TWAIN

A Destination has Emerged!!

 

Dome Rock

We have finally gotten all the aggravations taken care of.  Insurance details worked out for another year,  and the crud is on the run.  The sun has been shining for the last six days so life is GOOD.

I’ve spent the last three days replacing the roof on our youngest daughter’s home.  They had sustained some damage from hurricane Isaac back in August, and we replaced the shingle roof with one of metal. They shouldn’t have to deal with that again any time soon.

With those details behind us, it seems time for another road trip.  Quartzite appears a nice place this time of year.  A group of fiberglass trailer folks are already beginning to gather near the area pictured above.  The boss said she is willing to go.

So, we plan to spend the next few days making preparations to head West.  We haven’t traveled in Southern Arizona before, and we are looking forward to it.  Lots to see and do.  The only negative is the three days it will take to get across Texas…..jc

    Wonderful! All Casitans need to visit Dome Rock at least once!
    Say hello for me!

    Don't forget to go to Tonto National Forest.

    This time of year Quartzsite is great--lots of hiking Jerry and lots to see out there in the desert. Safe travels.

    Wish I was going...its one of the places on my list...maybe next year....If you getting bored driving through Texas, stop at the Caverns of Sonora...it right off I-10...south a bit...Its a great place to include camping...electric, water....prices is right...a lot of folks who have been there liked the Caverns better than Carlsbad....I enjoyed it, relaxing, country feel,etc...I got there one afternoon,next morning did the first tour of the day...and headed out for another adventure....the tours are small, as I recall they limit to 10 folks or so...I went late December and they had 5 or so people...they do have a website....Safe Journeys....have fun...Horst
