Las Vegas, Prescott and Mesa AZ

We arrived in Mesa, AZ, a few days ago. Gary has been particularly busy cleaning and waxing the exterior of the RV as we prepare to leave it for several months in the RV park here in Mesa. It went from being quite dirty to very shiny. We received two rock dings on the windshield from passing trucks in Utah. One was quite small but the other one was from a very large rock, at least 2 inches in diameter, judging from the size of the round mark it left. We had a glass repair company here to do the repairs, and the smaller one was fixed, but this larger one can't be fixed, so at some point we will require yet another new windshield - our fifth for this motor home. 

Previously we had a very enjoyable few days in Prescott, much cooler than Phoenix, largly due to the higher elevation there. We had one particularly nice walk around Watson Lake. The first photo was taken looking out at the lake from a point above.

 

 

I did want to post one other photo, taken at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area near Las Vegas, where we were for several nights. We went on a hike that passed some pictographs about 700-800 years old, I believe. I just love this one. 

 

While we were in Las Vegas, we went to a Lionel Ritchie concert. It was fabulous, and I can't get several of the songs out of my head, particularly "Hello". Ah, my era music! He is a wonderful entertainer!
