Since we have returned to North Ranch Escapees RV Park in Congress AZ, we have encountered a few minor snafus. One is the exceptionally hot weather. It appears we should have postponed our visit until October, when the weather would enable us to do more outdoor activities. As it was we endured another hot day turned to warm evening. The forecast is calling for Tuesday to be a triple digits day and 80’s night, then settling down to upper 90’s days and upper 70’s nights for the next 7-10 days. Ahhh. Cool weather at last!.
To cool off this afternoon we went to visit some friends who live in the residential section adjacent to North Ranch Escapees RV Park. We enjoyed our visit and their nice cool house. On the way home we stopped at another friend’s to welcome him back to the park for the winter. If we had planned our visit for October, we would have been able to visit and play pickleball with more people. As of now, most residents are lingering at their cool summer locations.
We can’t really complain though. The nights are spectacular. The park has rules against bright lights at night. This keeps the light pollution to a minimum, and night sky is ablaze with twinkling stars, planets, and satellites. Venus, Mars, the Pleiades, and the Milky Way are all clearly visible. The 1/2 moon is so bright now that some of the lesser stars are pale, and the moonlight casts shadows. Several nights I’ve seen “falling stars” streak across the sky and wink out. Tomorrow, more beauty and surprises to discover.
