Another cool and sunny morning. Today was laundry day and let me tell you this was 100 per cent opposite to the laundry day in Quartzsite. The building was heated (nice as it was only 40F when I went to do laundry), eight new looking washers, 12 new looking dryers, 2 big clean folding tables and not another person in site. The only draw back was the money card. You had to buy a card for $2, then put money on it in increments of $5. The washer was a $1.25 a load and the dryer was $1.00 for 40 minutes and 25 cents for each additional 15 minutes. When you're only in the RV park for a week it's a little tricky figuring out how much money to put on the card. Lucky for me, Carol and Esther are also in the park. When I was done with the card I passed it on to Carol who will pass it on to Esther who is staying here for a couple more weeks. Hopefully, we'll get the residual money on the card down to a minimal amount.
After an early lunch, Ed, Zaph and I headed out for a hike. When we stopped in Sedona in 2010 we did a number of hikes and decided to try a hike in a new area. First trail head didn't work for us as the trail wasn't marked and there we're paths leading every which way. Second trail head was much better. Baskets filled with stones marked the way. The hike took us through a forest, across a dry creek bed, slowly climbing up to a ridge, along the ridge above Oak Creek and finally down the road to the truck.
On the trail.
We could see this peak across Oak Creek.
After the hike we drove over to the airport. It was a spot we remembered fondly from our trip in 2010.
We climbed to the top of a hill and enjoyed the view.
A view of the highway we had driven on yesterday.
Another wonderful view from the hill top.
You probably didn't believe me when I said it was cold. Zaph found some snow that he quickly ate. I'm surprised that he new what to do with it.
