Camping Day 3 – Monument Valley

We have a crappy internet connection so this will be short.

We’re in Monument Valley for a couple of days. We had an uneventful drive from Flagstaff and got here in time to check into the RV campground and get all hooked up to the utilities.

Stay tuned for more in a couple of days.

Camping Day 1 – Flagstaff, AZ

Verna snapped this photo of the San Francisco Peaks just north of Flagstaff, AZ as we approached along I-17 today. We made good time, had light traffic and are now camped at the Flagstaff KOA. After getting settled in, it started to snow lightly. Verna also took the photo (below) looking out the RV door at a nearby tree as the snow fell. Click on either image to enlarge.

Vulture Peak

We took the dogs to the groomer today and while we were waiting for them to be finished, we took a little drive up through Constellation Park to the county line between Maricopa and Yavapai Counties. The weather was scattered clouds and a couple of rain showers although we stayed dry.

Verna took this photo of Vulture Peak off in the distance from the county line looking west-south-west toward the vulture mountains. This mountain is an icon when visiting Wickenburg and is very prominently seen from all over town and when approaching the Hassayampa Valley.

Leprechaun Verna

Verna, who has a lot of Irish Heritage, put on the colors and décor for St. Patrick’s Day a few days early for our weekly trip to get groceries. There was a little wind that tried to blow her hat away, but she managed to keep that from happening.

She sure looked cute during our weekly excursion for vittles.

Birds at the Feeders

During the morning walk-around, I noticed that there were several birds helping themselves to the goodies in the feeders out back. I took several pictures with my Canon Rebel SL1 camera. Those photos are below (clickable).

This is a sparrow in the mesquite tree waiting its turn for the feeders.

Here are a couple of sparrows and a finch on the round feeder.

And finally, a finch attending “Bird Church” in the big mesquite tree.
