Work done, time to scoot...


No photos, but it did happen.  ;-)  After lunch, we came back to our site and got the scooters out.  The first order of play ('cause it ain't business) was a tour around this resort.  It's a BIG place - over 2,000 sites.  Most of them have homes of some sort on them, some are still RV sites.  The Town Center has a restaurant, a Post Office, lots of rooms for the different activities (from wood working to lapidary), a swimming pool, bunches of pickle-ball courts, and an events center.  Seems that there is something going on several times a week at the event center - tonight and tomorrow night, Summer of '63 is playing (a Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons type group).  We just missed Peter Noone (Herman's Hermits).  Later this week is Rockapella (an a cappella singing group).  Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers... like having Branson in our back yard.  ;-)

We walked by a "Strings & Things" meeting room... Joan said, "They have guitars and stuff in there; let's check it out."  Must be a beginners' group - they were playing Kingston Town (the Harry Belafonte version, not UB40)... sorta.  There were about a dozen people playing a variety of string instruments: guitar, violin, auto-harp, mandolin.  Sorta.

Lots of people eating ice cream - the restaurant serves ice cream, and has some sort of "special" each day.  That doesn't suck.  :-)

We took the scoots outside the resort, checking out some of the city of Surprise.  Well, mostly the Sun City Grand area.    The other Sun City areas we've ridden through have been good roads - this was a very pleasant ride.  We found the important stuff: a gas station, Safeway, Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, Ace Hardware, and Wells Fargo.  We're covered.

We haven't been out on the scoots since we left Texas - any ride would be a pleasant ride.  The sun is shining, the sky is blue, the temp is around 72º, hardly any breeze.  It's OK, we make our own breeze on the scoots.  :-)
