December 15, 2018 Fiesta Grande RV Resort, Casa Grande AZ

Wow Steve and I both slept in to 8:30!  That is very unusual.  Once we were up and chores done I decided to take my walk as Steve said he was going to carve.  So I put on my walking clothes.  As soon as I did Steve decided we should go to see Organ pipes National Monument.  So I did get a short walk in.  Once I got back we hopped in the car after I changed clothes.  We made a loop taking hwy 15vto 84 to 85 and into the park area.  About 300 miles round trip.  We took their 21 mile informational loop going very close to the Mexican border.  They even warn you that you could encounter smugglers or other nefarious persons.  We didn't.   But we did learn all about the flora and fauna of the Sonoran Desert. We saw a suguaro cacti, all kinds of cholla cacti and mesquite trees. They had brochure with info on 18 different stops.  I ended up reading the entire booklet to Steve.  The loop was supposed to take us 2 hours and it was right on the money.  We headed back at 4 o'clock.
We stopped for some Taco Bell. Guess Steve got his Taco Bell fix.  It doesn't really cut it for me for dinner. We didn't get home until 7 missing the lighted cart Parade.   I guess Steve was feeling cooped up and wanted to get out of dodge.  As we got off on Trekell Road we were once again turned around by the police.  Not sure what happened.   Saw two more cops headed over that direction.
Point of interest.  I questioned Steve about how fast he was going.  He asked me if I was nagging him about his driving.   Now he's knows what it feels like.  He laughed when I said that.  I doubt it made a lasting impression .
Walked the dogs fed them and now watching TV.
