Friends and Then To Our Destination

We left the Hi-Jolly after a great breakfast. It was easy to pack up because we never took anything out when we pulled in and set up. On the road by about 9:30 AM we were happy as clams in a camper.

Following Hwy 10 east again we drove to the junction of 10 and Hwy 303, where we turned north heading to Surprise, AZ to visit our friends, Tim and Kathy Christie. We had contacted them when we left Post Falls and they invited us to stop over a night as we neared Queen Valley. We accepted their invitation but then realized that we would be dropping in on New Year's Eve. I emailed them and they assured us that they were doing nothing to celebrate and would love to have us over. 

It was an easy drive and we arrived early afternoon. We talk and talked much of the afternoon away. Kathy and Tim had prepared a wonderful lasagna dinner and we chatted somemore and got re-acquainted. I had worked at NIC for many years with both of them, so the college and people we knew were our main topics. Both Tim and Kathy had many different jobs at the college. They were there about four years before I arrived but I knew of them when I went to college there in 1976. Tim is a wonderful wildlife photographer and has many of his photos published. 

We watched TV, played with their two dogs, Daisy & Cooper, and then we turned in early.

The next morning we were treated to a delicious breakfast and were on our way. We really appreciated Tim and Kathy's hospitality and it was great to hear all the stories. Thank you so much, Tim and Kathy!!

Arriving at Queen Valley for the first time was pretty darned exciting. Linda checked us in and we drove to our spot and backed into the lot. Plenty of room to spread out. We were finally here! After two years of waiting and getting things planned the drive was over, for two months. Our spot is within a short walk from the shower rooms and the pickleball courts. We plan to take advantage of all this and get to know the desert at the same time.
