Culture, Music, and Wildflowers
We have been in Cave Creek for the past 4 days. There are 33 spots in the campground and 16 people lined up in the overflow waiting--someone was glad to have our spot. A lot of folks will have to wait through the weekend. Easter weekend and spring break in AZ have messed up our plans to visit other public parks. We are on our way home (with a sidetrip, hopefully to Yosemite).
The wildflowers in CC were amazing and we added some new species to our "list" (I don't have a real list). We took lots of photos. We spent the evenings with our friends Paul and Charlotte. The culture was a free talk at the Heard Museum (with wine and cheese) on Native American Jewelry. It was a bit of a fiasco as they had about 3 times as many people show up as they expected. The music though was amazing. Last night we went to a free jazz concert in downtown Carefree. What else can I say. This was a highlight of out trip.
This afternoon we are in Needles. It is 85 degrees in the shade. Kit has gone jogging and I am utilizing the free wireless sitting outdoors in the shade. Tomorrow we head for Bakersfield.
