We left Las Cruces and headed toward AZ. Near Deming, NM we stopped at the St. Clair Winery and tasted a few of their New Mexico wines. The red zinfandel and fruity shiraz we good enough that we bought one of each.
We had a hard time deciding where to stop on our way to Mesa as we weren't supposed to arrive until Friday, Jan. 6. We finally settled on Lake Nobles near Safford AZ and we are glad we did. It was a beautiful campground on a small lake that is sorely lacking for water. But there was still enough to satisfy the ducks and canoes. We rode our bikes for about an hour before basking in the sun and napping. I then built a fire, John grilled lamb for supper and we then rekindled the fire. It was a lovely clear night with a little too much moon shine but we still got the spotting scope out and did some star gazing.
We arrived in Mesa on Friday in time for lunch with John's Mom. The sun enticed us to lounge by the pool for awhile before we restocked the larder. Of course dinner was at Midwestern Meat Market where we had some really good prime rib!
