March 23rd

A nice day in AJ, I think the temp was about 80F.
  Went for a good bike ride this AM.  The wind was blowing pretty good, so I was riding into it for about half the distance.  Went all the way to Idaho, back to Meridian and then back to the rv park.  Considering the wind and all, that was enough to work up a sweat on this guy.

   We had to get organized early to go with a large group from the rv park to lunch at the Mining Camp restaurant.  It's an attempt to recreate what the dining experience would be like in a mining camp back in the day.  The meal is pretty good, with roast beef and roast chicken with lots of fixin's.  LOL  The McNasty brothers perform after lunch and it's a bit of a comedy routine around music.  The one fellow plays an overturned wash tub with a pole and string attached.

   The entertainers were pretty good, they really try to put on the act as if they were almost saddle tramps from the turn of the century.  There were quite a few old mining pieces on the way in to create the atmosphere, so lots of photo ops in the area.  The new tenants association organized the trip & about 40 people went.  We have been past the place, but never stopped in, so were curious to see what it is about.

   Put in the stove pic for you Charlene.

    The whole thing is just below Superstition mountain, a very picturesque setting.  We rode with Kenny & Doris as did Ron & Mary.
  After lunch I played some pool and Marg did laundry.  While I was playing an ambulance came into the park and took a lady to the hospital.  Not sure what happened, but that was the 3rd one we have seen this winter.  It's a small park with only 140 stalls, so this kind of thing is always concerning.
  We went to happy hour for just before supper and Marg took some photo albums she had, to show her friends.  One she had from Vanessa for Christmas & the other from Charlene for her birthday.  All the gals were oooh'ing and aaah'ing, so I guess they enjoyed seeing them.  LOL
