The last day in Arizona on our last trip, I stood on the front porch of the new house and took a series of photos which I later stitched into this panoramic image. This view is looking south toward Wickenburg Way (US Hwy 60), about a quarter mile away. Click on the image to view the full panorama.
We asked our contractor to clear a pathway so that when we get our RV we can have pull-thru access. I have a problem with trying to back a large vehicle (trailer/5th wheel/class A) up or downhill, so we asked for the pull-thru access.
In the panoramic image below on the left side, you can see the rough exit access. The RV will enter the driveway on the right side and pull behind the house where there will be full hookups (30 Amp AC, hose bib, sewer) on the left side. Click on the image to enlarge.
We only needed the RV space for storage of the one we may eventually get. We wouldn’t necessarily need the hookups but if we get visitors who come in an RV, we wanted them to have the option to stay in their rig. We will pull ours down the exit access enough to allow our visitors to pull behind the house. When they are ready to leave, we will pull down on the roadway and drive up the driveway and into the RV spot as they pull out.
On our last excursion to Arizona, we took some time out from house-building to do a little sightseeing. I composed this panoramic image of the Hassayampa River which runs through Wickenburg. Although it is dry in this image, it flows in the springtime and sometimes during the August/September monsoons. The presence of water ensures that the riparian vegetation stays green and lush even in the desert climate. Click on the image to see the full panorama.
The new property is in a tract where the access is via dirt roads. I stood on the road in front of the property and took several images and stitched them together to create this panoramic view of the road from one end to the other. On the left is the road continuing to the neighbor’s place on the west side. On the right, you can see the power-lines along the paved road to the east of our property. I took this photo several weeks ago before construction on the property began.

Just as we got off of I-10 this afternoon in Ehrenberg, AZ, Verna snapped this image of the Colorado River with a beautiful mountain range in the distance. I cropped her image to render this nice panoramic image. Click on the thumbnail above to see the full-sized panorama.
We have been waiting since May for this day. The permits and arrangements are in place and at last the builder is preparing the lot for the foundation. Click on the image for the full panorama.
