We knew we had a short drive today, so we took the time to wash the RV and Jeep before driving over to Cave Creek which was only a one hour trip. We are staying in the same campground as last year, Cave Creek Regional Park, because it is such a nice place and conveniently located.
Since we have better bikes this year, we decided to try a little off-road bike riding. The lady at the ranger station told us about a new trail in the park that would be a fairly easy bike ride and had some beautiful scenery along the way. And the ride did start out nice and easy, relatively level with a wide track, but then it turned up hill and was steep enough that I couldn't pedal with all the loose gravel. I ended up walking my bike for about a half mile before I had had enough of pushing the bike and turned around. John on the other hand was enjoying the challenge and rode an additional mile up the hill before turning around. It was pretty with lots of cacti like saguaro and cholla, scrub and some green grass scattered in among these large quartz stones and boulders.
Our friends from Sedalia have rented a house near here for a couple of months so we joined them for dinner, wine and a hot tub dip. By then we had had a little too much wine to be driving so we spent the night with them.
Friday morning,after a quick trip back to the RV to change, we drove together with them to We-Ko-Pa Golf Club for a round of very difficult golf. We played this course last year and even though we did much better this time, it is a very hard course with lots of hazards like rocky washes, islands of trees in the middle of the fairway, hills and sand.
We had reservations for dinner at our favorite place in Cave Creek, Cartright's. Very good food!
