Kit and Carol on the Road

Lake Pleasant was actually a pleasant surprise. We’ve never found reservoirs to be aesthetically pleasing, but this lake with islands and hills and cactus growing down to the shore is quite attractive. Un-fortunately it is raining and raining.
Pleasant Harbor Resort was also a pleasant surprise. The facilities are super, the pool and hot tub are marvelous, and the people are friendly. Un-fortunately it is raining and raining and we’ve only been in the pool once. Carefree (the town and area) was also a pleasant surprise. Un-fortunately, I forgot to take my camera so I have no record of a quite pleasant day. We climbed a peak (well almost), hiked into a canyon (almost), had lunch at a Thai Restaurant, shopped at a farmer’s market, visited Horse Heaven, and did a lot of sightseeing. In the Arizona weather forecast all the flood warnings are for Carefree, Cave Creek, and Lake Pleasant. Guess where we are? Yesterday when we went to visit the Bushues (Guemes friends) in Carefree we had to take a detour because the road was flooded. It has been raining a lot since then. We are supposed to be on our way back to Carefree today but are still unsure of whether we will be able to get there—or more importantly, whether we will be able to get back. It is raining and raining –and cold. Oh for the dry Pacific Northwest.
