Well, an afternoon out in the van. We took the van for an errand, then out to lunch in the Goodyear area. No particular place we wanted to go besides that - we decided to head toward the town of Maricopa, which is south of the Estrella Mountains. Yeah, the opposite direction. It's OK, I was just looking for some driving time.
You go through a portion of the Gila River Reservation on the way there. I would say it is the boonies...
"Watch for wild horses"... we aren't in the big city any more. It was a pleasant drive and a beautiful day...
Sunny, mid-70s... not bad for early January. It has been years since we've been through the city of Maricopa - a LOT has changed in that time: nice housing developments abound. Plenty of new looking retail and eateries. To be fair, you can plan on nearly an hour drive to get to Phoenix (Gilbert, Chandler), so it is a bit "out there." No doubt, some people picked it as a place to live for that reason. The developer who built our house has projects in Maricopa, and the prices are lower there, compared to homes they are (or have been) building in Laveen, Litchfield Park, or the Verrado areas. Location.
Nice day to be out and about.
