One thing about this lifestyle….there are a lot of good-byes. It’s always hard to leave Kerry and Annabelle. I feel sadness in this. They are such good, pure spirits in our lives. Kerry is planning to stay in the Prescott area for the winter and has her travel trailer all tucked in to a nice cozy spot near a lake and lots of trails where she and Annabelle will be walking, and Annabelle has declared that she will be doing ‘rabbit inventory’ a very large and important job, but it must be done! Yup, Annabelle said that!

Ducks are also on Annabelles inventory list.

Lots of ducks on Lynx Lake.

And still some trees displaying their golden finery.

This might be the last swim of the season.
While camped here I’ve had a bit of a flare up with my back, but Kerry has been helping me out and I’m already feeling better.

And Mick came out of the passenger seat to sit on the tailgate with me.
Another walk in town by the courthouse….

It’s really pretty here.

And if you are looking for trails to hike, they are all over Prescott. White Spar Campground has some popular trail heads and a parking and picnic area for hikers.

And…some of these….

Tarantula! This is actually a small one.
The plan is to leave here tomorrow…Wednesday…and spend that night in Gila Bend at the KOA. One last time with full hookups for awhile…then leave bright and early Thursday morning for the 150 mile drive to CLR…Caballo Loco Ranch, and our very own little (big) campsite on the hill. A few friends that I know of are already there, and it will be really nice to see them again.
You may remember from last winter that I have a problem with cellular and Internet connectivity there. (I do have a Verizon flip phone for emergencies), and blog postings may come a little less frequently. The drive to a good connection that I can blog from is about 20 miles, and nearly half of that down a bumpy dirt road. Still, I venture out at least once a week, and when I do I’ll be relating our CLR adventures, and sharing beautiful Arizona sunsets.
so….here we go!

Joy, peering out of the top of her royal carriage!
I hope that your back feels better….once you get to CLR you can rest and take it easy.
That tarantula would have been hard to spot on the gravel. It’s a good thing that you were observant! Loved the photo of Joy’s head peeking out…looks like she still loves her walks!
Hi Sharon, yes I almost missed seeing that tarantula. I would have hated to have stepped on it. It was actually in the Campground road and I maneuvered it over to the dirt and weeds.
Joy seems pretty happy in the stroller!
It looks beautiful where you were and I’m sure it will be beautiful where you are going. Still. Goodbyes are hard. I hope your back is better soon. I look forward to hearing about the next camp when you are able to post.
Hi Dawn, yes, there are so many kinds of beauty! Here we are in the cool pine forest and at the ranch we will be surrounded by cactus. Both beautiful in their own way.
Thank you, back is doing much better. Gotta remember, when I start feeling the twinges that is the time to rest it, not after I try to do 16 more things!
That silly Mick! Yikes on the tarantula!!! Take care of your back. Good to see ‘Kerry and Annabelle’ are doing well. Casita getting polished and waxed Friday. Hugs
Hi Sharron, good to hear that the Casita is getting all shined up and ready to go! You must be very excited!
Yes’Kerry’ is looking and feeling good and ‘Annabelle’ is in her prime. Happy campers for sure.
Hope to see you in the not too distant future!
Hugs
I’m so glad to have met you! No idea what the immediate future will bring, but I hope to see you at CLR and have time to share our stories in a more leisurely way. Safe travels!
Hi Laura, really nice to have met you and your sweet girl too.
Would be great if you can come to the ranch but I know you have to take one day at a time.
Take care…of both of you.
I love that you still have Mick along for the ride – Thank you for the beautiful posts, and glad that those rabbits will finally be counted. Good girl, Annabelle! Sorry that we’ve been out of touch of late, but we’re home again until T’day…catch up soon
hugs and love!
Hi Laura. I miss you.
Will text you about catching up.
Yeah Mick is actually very faithful, contrary to what people think. He sits right there in that front seat and doesn’t move unless I make him. He holds my maps, purse and various other objects. Doesn’t complain. Shiloh even sat on his lap once and he didn’t complain. Quite a guy.
If there is a man’s lap around, Shiloh will find it 🙂
talk soon, yes!
