I got the RoadTrek out yesterday to get the oil changed. I was missing driving that thing. So, today, Joan and I took it out for lunch. While we were having lunch, she said, "There is a Regional Park we haven't been to, and it's less than a half hour from here - want to check it out when we're done with lunch?"
"Absolutely!"
The park is Usery Mountain Regional Park (near Mesa). When Joan said "Usery," I heard "usury"... which means the illegal practice of lending money at unreasonable interest rates. No, not the same.
This is a nice mountain park: plenty of hiking trails, a Nature Center, group campgrounds (primitive), a developed campground with electric and water at each site and a dump station. This would be a fun overnight sometime when the weather is a bit cooler.
A few photos...
The cacti and low brush is all looking nicely green after our recent rains. Here's a shot of Joan hamming it up with a cactus on our way into the Nature Center...
Fun day-tripping in the van today!
