To Phoenix, Arizona our final destination

Phoenix, Arizona our final destination

From Parker we had an easy 4 hour drive to north Phoenix through the Arizona desert. We were surprised at how "green" it was due to the rains they've had. We bought our 5th wheel and truck in Arizona and we've now returned "Al" back home!

University of Phoenix Stadium, home of the Cardinals, an impressively large building, but not too sure about its aesthetics.  We passed it on the way to north Phoenix.

I-10 East to Phoenix....sorry Arizonians but the highway was absolutely littered on both sides with blown out tires from 18 wheelers, white plastic bags etc.

Phoenix Metro RV Park in North Phoenix was home for our last days in the USA. Excellent location to restaurants, cinemas etc., friendly neighbours, good laundry facilities.

Our 5th wheel and truck parked tight at the Phoenix Metro RV Park...any closer and we would have been in the neighbour's lounge!

Betty took this picture of balloons from the rear window of the 5th wheel one morning, it was so still they were hardly moving.

Robie and mee sharing a moment at the Legends Golf course at Arrowhead designed by Arnold Palmer. We all had a good time but it sure was hot. The Bloody Mary's were delicious.

This was a common hazard on the greens, Canadian geese.

There were any number of cactii around the golf course.

The course is surrounded by million dollar homes with beautiful lake and golf course views.

Betty took this photo of a Kingfisher sitting in a tree on the golf course trying to escape the heat of the day, it was a beautiful large bird so there must be plenty of food around.

Betty standing beside a tree that was struck by lightning, we seen several around the course so it proves that it could be dangerous to be out in a storm.

Robie elated after pulling off a 340+ yard drive straight down the middle. Doesn't happen often but when he gets on it the ball flies. He was so happy he made the 18th hole!!

And that's it for this year and we have accomplished our mission of visiting every state in the USA and playing golf in every state - all within 5 years and all without an accident or getting booked by the cops.
