03262018 to 03302018 More Arizona

Got new eyeglasses and sunglasses 🕶 from Costco; so grateful to be seeing well again! Agua Fria National Monument is huge with a dirt road throughout which can be challenging for Pearl and me, but we made it over the water just fine. I thought I’d spend the night so I could enjoy the stars and heavens, but when I explored the spot I planned on staying in to find bones, I thought better of it! Of course I’m still fascinated by rocks and spend time admiring them. I chatted with a couple on an OHV who said if I’d taken that dirt road 44 miles I would have gotten to the Verde Hot Springs! Furthermore they shared that they found their gold in Big Bug Creek…hmmm. Sunset Point Rest area off I 17 provides an amazing backdrop for the wondrous sunrise and sunset, too. North to Prescott, I explore Lynx Lake, Watson Lake and Watson Woods Preserve, and Goldwater Lake (yep, as in Barry Goldwater). Lynx lake must really have a problem with cars not exiting properly as there were several of the “Don’t Back up or you’ll wreck your tires” contraptions at the South Section. Prescott is now one of the top retirement and relocation areas in the country because of its favorable weather and minimal snow. None of the lakes allow swimming, but I’d be thrilled if I were a fishing enthusiast. Prescott National Forest allows camping only in their designated campgrounds by Prescott and they are not yet open for the season. No hot springs this week, but perhaps next week. Cute little farm where I treated myself to some yummy fudge at a friendly, family-run farm. Tomorrow is the full moon-hoping all the intentions you put out on the New Moon come to pass, unless you’ve changed your intentions! ohttps://videos.files.wordpress.com/ebBTH1PB/img_8754.mov fruition!
