We pulled out of Juniper Ridge RV Resort about 9:30 yesterday morning, drove twelve miles in to Show Low, and then followed U.S. Highway 60 south 48 miles across the White Mountain Apache Reservation to the Salt River Canyon, a dramatic chasm that folks here in Arizona refer to as the “Other Grand Canyon.” The […]
Okay, I am officially fed up with the wind, snow, and cold here in northern Arizona! All night Saturday the wind rocked our motorhome, and our slide topper awnings flapped like they were going to tear themselves apart.
