Out and About From the GMC Motorhome

Oh boy, was good to head out over the mountain today. We have been hanging around here for the last few days and I was ready to travel. We took off about 930 am. Did not even get up to the top of the mountain and wham. A rock hit the windshield. Called our daughter and got the address of a glass shop in Safford. We rolled in and for 19.9 they fixed us up. See the glue?

Mike was quick and we were out in 15 minutes. I have never had such service. The owner wants to do our GMC glass. We have some fogging around the edges. May let him look at it. This windshield has been patched 5-6 times since we bought the car. I hate to have a windshiled replaced. Always a chance it might leak.

Here is a shot of Mt. Graham. Looks like snow.

I am sure it was snow.

If you look hard you can see the 11,000 ft. mountain hiding in there.

Should you look at our tracker for today you can see we got off the beaten path a little. We did grab a cache in town that had been fixed since we looked for it a couple of weeks ago. We have conquered all of the caches in the city now.
Anyway, we snuck up a road north of Solomon. I had never been up it. It runs up to San Simon River. Here you get a shot at the end of the pavement.

Farm crops are irrigated different out here than back home. Folks share the water on different days. This is where the local irrigation starts. You can see the water taking off down the canal to water the crops down the way.

Here is the locked gate for the water. I am glad we drove up to take a look. Very interesting. Also checked out one of the local prisons. Very popular employment out here. I think there are 3 prisons right here close.
There you have it. Got back home about 4. Rested up and headed to bible study. Got out and it was raining. The temps are going to be low in the morning. Got the heat running now.
Hope everyone is wrapping up the old year. Won't be long til it is gone. We have plans to be at friends' home Friday night.

I love seeing snow on the mountains and running water in those desert rivers. That might sound funny to some people, but if you grew up in the desert, like I did, you would understand.
