Bluegrass-Hiking-Plays; Mar-Apr 2012

March 2012:

Lake Havasu Bluegrass Festival

This month started out with a trip to the Lake Havasu Bluegrass festival.  We stayed in a motel, but visited with Bud & Lisa while there and at the event.

Hiking the McDowell Sonoran Preserve

I followed up the Cruising Mexico slideshow this month with one of our Route 66 trip in the RV’s.  One reason I asked to do this was to encourage participation in a World Span Tour trip planned for a portion of Route 66.  And there was more hiking in the hills around the Mesa/Phoenix area to get in shape for the Grand Canyon crossing.

Ever since we returned to Apache Wells we’ve had afternoon parties by the pool almost every week.  This month was no exception with wine, beer, and a healthy dose of snacks.  These get-togethers really helped get to know the other residents and new comers to the park.  The weather was always great, and the entertainment provided encouraged us all to get up and dance.

April 2012:



Patsy Cline tribute at Broadway Palms

April was more of the same!  Party-party-party!  Entertainment this month included the play “Harvey” at the Hale Theater, “Doc Holiday” by Wyatt Earp at the Palace Saloon in Prescott, “Patsy Cline” at the Broadway Palm Theater, and the closing show at the Arizona Opry with guests Pat and Susan that were visiting in their RV and staying at Apache Wells.  While in Prescott, we also went to the renovated Elk’s Theater on the spur of the moment to watch a live tribute of the Rat Pack.  The rendition of Mr. Bojangles was one of the best tributes I’ve ever seen and brought tears to the eyes of the audience.
