December 2, 2017

Here we are at Happy Trails in Surprise, AZ outside Phoenix near West Sun City. We are 20 minutes from Duf’s mother’s home. Next week we will try to ride our bikes to her house and see how that works. There are bicycle paths all around so it should be a pleasant ride.
Phoenix has had some things different than what we are used to. 
First a mulch company had a fire and they decided to let it smother because they thought putting water on it would make to much smoke. Luck for us it was across town so we were not affected by the terrible smell that is traveling East and the residents in that area are heavily complaining. It is predicted to smother and smell for a few days.
Next, we are on the West side which again is a benefit because the East side has a dust storm that has stalled at the base of the mountains so they have air quality warnings and aren’t supposed to be outside anymore than needed. Smoke, terrible smell, and dust what a combination!
It is very dry here, I think I drank 8 bottles of water today!

The West side has been sunny and bright with temperatures in the 80’s during the day and the 50’s at night, good sleeping weather. With the windows open at night we can hear the coyotes howl and they sound very close!
