We decided that we didn’t get enough rolling over mountains and through changing terrain yesterday. We took to the road again today, this time from our Thousand Trails campground we took AZ 260 to I17 to AZ 169,
up 6000’ and back down again along the Prescott Valley. From there AZ 69 took us to Prescott for some shopping at Costco. We’ve been out of our favorite sweet treat—Sanders Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt Caramels for two weeks, and thought the 45 mile 50 minute drive a very small price to pay.
Alas, we were doomed to disappointment. Apparently they’ve been “discovered” and the shelf was bare until the Christmas candy shipment comes in. We settled for second favorites and hoped that Costco ordered enough Sanders in that Christmas shipment for everyone. We found our other stuff in stock and headed home.
This time we were treated to a view of Cottonwood on our descent.
We arrived back home in time to get the truck unloaded before the afternoon showers.
Our site here is tight from side to side, but long enough to park the truck on site. We park in back here
so that we have room to maneuver the bike into its parking spot in front.
We have no real plans for our visit here, but hope to fit in some pickleball playing and a bike ride or two in the next two weeks—weather permitting. Since we stocked up on baby back ribs at Costco this morning we’ll probably eat at our favorite bbq place tomorrow.
Just kidding. Maybe.
