We really love Arizona. The weather is great in the winter, 40\u2019s at night 70\u2019s during the day and no humidity. There are not a lot of trees, (it is a desert) but the sun shines almost constantly.<\/p>\n

We are staying in the Dome Rock area again this year with our friends Phil and Sue; wave hello Phil.<\/p>\n

We are still waiting for the main RV show to start, but we have been downtown visiting some of the vendors that are already setup.<\/p>\n

Pretty much, if it is old, used and you want it, this is the place to find it.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_20160112_140741216\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Even if it isn\u2019t old, if it is made out of some sort of rock you can probably find it here, though no guarantee that it is not \u201cused\u201d.<\/p>\n

OK, moving on\u2026.<\/p>\n

For the most part we are hanging at our campsite relaxing. Well I\u2019m relaxing. John has pulled the wire for the solar panels we will be buying next week and rigging up the outside speakers we have wanted for a long time.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been searching out unique rigs and taking pictures. Here is one, but I don\u2019t want to spoil a future blog post so this is all you get.<\/p>\n

We have been sitting around a campfire almost every night, which is something we almost never do during the rest of the year.<\/p>\n

I have managed to get pictures of some beautiful sunsets. It is like the sky is on fire!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The sunrises can be just as spectacular.<\/p>\n

Yeah, we love the desert.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
