APRIL AND OCTOBER

APRIL AND OCTOBER ARE OUR TWO FAVORITE MONTHS ON THE MOHAVE DESERT.

THE FIRST REASON IS THE “SUNNY & 80” WEATHER.

THE SECOND REASON IS THAT THE SNOWBIRDS AREN’T HERE AND NEITHER ARE THE SUMMER PEOPLE. BUSINESS IN THE CASINOS IS SLOWER SO WE GET MORE TIME OFF.

IT’S MUCH EASIER TO DRIVE AROUND TOWN WITHOUT THE TRAFFIC, AND THERE IS HARDLY EVER A LINE AT WALMART.

THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH APRIL IS THAT IT’S FOLLOWED BY MAY AND TRIPLE DIGIT TEMPERATURES.

THIS SUMMER WE HAVE A WEEK IN JULY AND A WEEK IN AUGUST SCHEDULLED “OFF” FROM WORK AND WE ARE GOING TO ESCAPE THE HEAT WITH AT LEAST ONE TRIP TO THE WHITE MOUNTAINS.

WE HAVE NEVER VISITED THE WHITE MOUNTAINS WHICH ARE LOCATED ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF ARIZONA AND MAKE UP THE HEART OF THE APACHE TERRITORY.

A COUPLE OF WEEKS OF VACATION IN THE MOUNTAINS AND A FEW WEEKS OF HOUSE SITTING WHERE THERE ARE BACKYARD SWIMMING POOLS WILL HELP MAKE THE THE LONG HOT SUMMER ON THE LOWER MOHAVE DESERT A LITTLE MORE BAREABLE.
