The terrain south of Phoenix was quite different...mountainous craggy hills, and very little vegetation on the desert lands.
The entrance to the SKP (Escapee) park in Casa Grande gave the first look at the vegetation that "could" grow in the area.
Several sheep farms on the road out of Casa Grande, as well as on Montgomery Road leading to the SKP park. The grandchildren will be happy to know that we found "Baa, Baa Black Sheep" [First sheep pic.] He was so cute!!!!
The land is sectioned off for irrigation. The Alfalfa (the prevalent crop for feed) is cut for the cattle...then the sheep are put on the sections to trim the crop down to the dirt. Move the sheep to another section, plow, re-plant, and the cycle repeats.
We're on lot #10...plenty of space for RV and car side by side...with a little patio inbetween. We got covers for the wheels, since we'll be parked here for 6-8 weeks, a protection from the sun.
We've met several who live here "almost" all of the time...and they have planted cactus on their lots.
Ron was happy to see that they had a woodworking shop...it houses most of the tools he gave to the kids...plus a few more. Jean has gotten into line-dancing three mornings a week, and enjoys the "exercise." [They don't stop to rest between songs...except at the 45 minute mark...half-way through the session.] We've met some really nice people...mostly from Washington State, and Michigan...and several from British Columbia. More to come...
