We pulled out of Cottonwood, AZ. Camp Verde heading for the White Mountains going thru Strawberry, Pine and into Payson. The drive over the pass was beautiful. We have never been in this area, it looks just like Eastern Oregon with trees, Hills and deer. When we got up on top the meadow was covered with yellow flowers it reminded us of buttercups they were everywhere. Lots of Elks signs (Yellow) but that was the extent of the big guys. We traveled 97 miles today. The weather was beautiful. Strawberry is a little community of summer cabins and retired people very clean town. So we just rolled on thru and into the little town of Pine it is even smaller than Strawberry went around the bend down the hill and into Payson which is quite a bit bigger we are going to meet Gary and Dawnett here we arrived before they did was to be waiting in the Safeway parking lot but the circus came to town they beat us so we parked across the street. Payson is a very busy town its at the start of the mountains for all of us that want to go camping in the White Mountains there was RV's going every direction. We followed Gary up to the campgrounds. Dawnett told me about this beautiful home that sets in the meadow so I tried to take a picture of it going 60 miles an hour well, guess what I got the tree instead don't you think its pretty. Its the mating season for the Elk so we are hoping to hear some bugling and a sighting of the big guys.
The weather is cool up here it was 76 and windy today and this evening, the guys built a fire cooked the hamburgers over the coals we ate in the dark just like you suppose to do when roughing it. Oct. 4 it is 36 degrees at 5AM. So Good Morning to all of you.
