Onward to Apache Junction

Went over the new bridge above the Hoover dam and lake Mead. The views around here never cease to impress. I don't know how far down it is to the canyon floor, as the new bridge is at the top of the rim, but it is far.

Took highway #93, the shortest route. Good roads & weather, it kept getting warmer as the day wore on. Saw lots of road construction south of Kingman; on the 2 lane - wouldn't you know it. Travel was much slower & we got into to Sun City [west side of Phoenix] later than planned. As a result we managed to hit the early part of the rush hour on the #101, but not too bad except in Scottsdale, where the traffic was bumper-to-bumper.

Got in to Carefree RV park around 4:30 PM, almost 425 miles today. Not bad considering we were stopped for construction several times. By the time we got to AJ it was 75F, nice & warm. We had difficulty parking & getting hooked up with the number of greeters we had. Certainly made us feel like we belong, no one threw rotten tomatoes at us, anyway. Got all the basic services hooked up, still have to to satellite dish, but it got dark, so left it for Wednesday. Several guys asked if I was playing pool tomorrow. Maybe should have gone to practice in the pool hall after supper, naw, I'll just take my beatings. The first ice cream social is Sunday & already had questions about whether we would be involved. Hardly seems like we left, LOL. Went to the big buffet for dinner, this is almost a tradition with us. We seem to do it every year.
