Where are we today ?
Cool night below freezing again but that is normal for this time of year. Great sleeping weather though. Up early as usual waiting for the sunrise to get my first walkabout of the day. only 24 (-4c) this morning so a bit of frost on the car windows until the sun hits them.
My early walkabouts take me around the campground until the sun comes up then the road back through the desert and around by the cemetery, guaranteed to be quiet there.

But we have the hitch itch, we have been in this area over 2 weeks now (mind you we love Benson) but gotta move, somewhere, anywhere is good. Got things done here, got my hearing aide back from repairs, some coach repairs done, Thanksgiving taken care of, so now we can move on down the road. Monday we outta here.
Afternoon reading in the sun, then shade, then sun, then the wind comes and goes but the sun here all day. Love the afternoon reading for the 2 of us.
About 3:30 I fired up our Weber to cook some pork ribs in a pan with sauerkraut for an hour or so then set on my grill mat and slathered on the BBQ sauce just to glaze then and then they are so amazing. If you like the recipe is HERE or my recipe blog top right sidebar. The grill mat keep the grill clean too.
Still windy so my homemade windbreak keeps the grill up to heat and working wonderful, notice the blue, cloudless Arizona skies.

Check out the interactive map below to see where we have been this Fall and Winter..
We only dropped to 44 last night so no frost on the windshield. I'm sure glad about that. My hitch itch is really going to take a beating this year. Oh well. Life sometimes happens that way as you know.
ReplyDeleteNice that is warmer there.
DeleteAnd like you said, life does get in the way of things, but at least we are upright and breathing.
Cool nights are definitely cool but not so cool you have almost ice on your windshield. Warm days and not hot days are also good. Winter is here and you've got to be in an area to still enjoy the winter. That's why both of us are south and not north.
ReplyDeleteThats exactly why we are south, no matter what still warmer than up north.
DeleteYour night temps are lower than what we have up here at the coast. Checked out Yuma AZ yesterday and only 15 C early afternoon there. That's pretty cold for AZ.
ReplyDelete15c with the direct sun is still pretty warm we will take it.
DeleteWe've got a cool weekend going on right now but then back to the low 40's F for next week. Still like your temps better.
ReplyDeleteBe safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
We like these temos better to soon we heading to lower elevation and it will warm up even more.
DeleteIt's cold (high 30's/low 40's) here in Glen Rose now... and WET! At least where you're at the days warm up and the sun shines... oh well... 2 more weeks and we're moving on.
ReplyDeleteThats tight dry and sunny here so feels much better. Yo heading much further south for the rest of the winter then, enjoy.
DeleteWe pulled into Mesa, AZ yesterday about 3:30. Low 70's and no wind, unlike Yuma so it was very nice. I forgot to reset my min - max thermometer but there was a hint of frost on the car this morning at 6:30.
ReplyDeleteStill can't beat this weather by much, the sun warms things up pretty quickly.
DeleteYou need to go further south, that cold weather seems to be chasing you! ;c)
ReplyDeleteWe working on that one day at a time.. lol.....
