After fueling up at Las Cruces, I headed on into Arizona, planning a stop-over in Willcox.
These were the first of the beautiful mountains after crossing the state line. I began to feel very peaceful inside...... Arizona has that effect on me... God's country some would say.
Wide open spaces....
A nut grove at the edge of town
I drove on past the town to the west side and pulled in the station there. They had propane so I got the tank filled, then headed back a half mile to Fort Willcox Campground. I failed to get a picture of the entry and the campground itself, but it is a very tidy place. The pull-through sites are gravel and have full hook-ups and a picnic table. I paid for 4 days and got set up. Sasha and Izzy were anxious for a walk. We had our supper then settled down for the evening.
A beautiful sunset was beginning in the western sky.
It turned from shades of light lavender with a pale yellow
to oranges, pinks, and purples.
With the deep blue mountains against the colorful sky, it was a beautiful end to a picture-perfect day!
Tomorrow we take a trip into town.
Psalm 104:3 He makes the clouds His chariot and rides on the wings of the wind.
These pics remind me of the old slides from CA that grandma and grandpa Miller took! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rose! Glad that you enjoy them. may get to CA, not sure yet....
DeleteLooks like a peaceful place to hang out.
ReplyDeleteVery peaceful. There were only a handful of RV's there at the time. The owners are also nice and helpful
DeleteBeautiful country. Keep up with your blog journey. God bless you Sunni
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda! Nice hearing from you! I finally broke into my paintbox after all summer. Brother would like a few lessons while I am here so glad to accommodate :)
DeleteHope you enjoyed your stay there. I like the way you travel, spending a few days here and there instead of just the night and back on the road again. I know that you do just over night sometimes but at least in between you take a longer stretch
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, I do like that little town . I was on the outskirts, a nice quiet place. And yes, traveling then resting a few days is what seems to work well for mem so thats what I try to do anymore anymore.
DeleteVery cool! Thank you for sharing. I see a couple new paintings form this :)
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Tina, lots of ideas here!
