We got on the road and headed to Elk Pines RV Resort. The first half of the trip wasn’t bad but after we hit Globe on Hwy 77, it turned pretty wicked!! The switchbacks were unbelievable! A lot of up and down, we were losing 2000-3000 feet! The views were amazing.
We got to Elk Pines about 1:00. It’s very nice. Not a whole lot of people here and it looks like most of them are from Arizona, staying for the summer in the cool weather. We really like the campground. Our site is very wide. The weather is a little cool and very comfortable.
May 17 - We went on a wonderful 3 1/2 mile hike this morning. The Chevelon Creek Trail beyond the Woods Canyon Lake dam.
May 18 – HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK! We went on a 6 mile hike around Willow Springs Lake. It was pretty rocky but a nice trail.
We relaxed the rest of the afternoon then went out to dinner for Mark’s birthday.
May 19 - We drove to Show Low to hike to a place called Ice Cave (Blue Ridge Cave Trail). It’s a hole in the ground that is suppose to have cold air coming out of it. We didn’t notice any cold air!
May 20 - We are officially old folks!! We played Bocce Ball for the first time!! We had a lot of fun. Everyone here at the park is super nice. We played for a couple of hours.
The weather has been fabulous! Cool mountain air. Not at all humid!
