Mid-April at Nuestra Casa, our home in the Valley, is absolutely beautiful.
But every day the temperatures have been creeping up a bit more. The last few days it has been in the 90’s….too hot for us to enjoy long afternoons sitting out on our back patio.
Time for us to load up the Rat (Toyota 4Runner), hitch our electric bikes on the back rack, and pack the Turtle (F350 with our slide-in camper) with all we’ll need for the next six months.
Today with me driving the Rat and my Danny following behind in the Turtle, we headed north on one of the most scenic highways in Arizona.
The hills were still green from the winter rains….and they were covered with blossoming yellow brittle bush and purple lupine. The majestic saguaro cacti marched up the mountainsides.
You can see our bike through the window hitched to the back of the Rat. My love is in the distance behind me, always close and keeping me safe.
We will spend the next few days unpacking and getting settled in our cozy cabin, nestled beneath the tall pine trees.
