Great week – Extending for 6 more

So, we had a fun week at Palm Creek. Pam and I golfed 18 holes on Wednesday (walking only) and had a great time. Lots of relaxing at the pool and hot tub and long walks around the resort. The weather has been great. Low 40’s over night, but then sunshine and 70’s the rest of day.

We decided to change our plans and stay here for another 6 weeks and focus on exercise and healthy eating ; staying until the end of March.

On Friday, we played another 9 holes (only $10/person after 4:30) and had a great time. Pam got a new “Sunday” golf bag. Looking sharp. We are signed up for Pickleball lessons next week, and Pam is doing Yoga twice a week.

We had to move sites to #398. An even bigger site and better location. It is on a curve, so we have a large wedge shaped lot. We even have an orange tree at the back of the lot.

Casa Grande, AZ

We arrived at Palms Creek RV and Golf Resort on Friday. We are here for a week.

It is a huge full service 55+ resort on the more expensive side ($500 for a week). But it has a nice 18 hole executive par 3 golf course. 32 Pickleball courts; tennis courts. 4 heated pools with hot tubs. All very nice. Like last week, they have lots of activities and clubs to keep the retired people active.

We are staying in Lot 52 which is on the east wall; very quiet. All lots are large (40′ x 50′).

Chiricahua National Monument

Echo Canyon Loop is a 4 mile heavily trafficked loop trail located near Willcox, Arizona that offers the chance to see wildlife and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, running, and bird watching and is accessible year-round.

The trail is in the Chiricahua National Monument Park. Fantastic views and great rock formations. So different than anything else we have seen. If you are in the area, you need to get here. The trail is above 6,000 feet, so it was a bit cold and there was snow (our first of the season – and last we hope).

We did the moderate 4 mile loop, but next time we need to do the Big Loop, so we can see Bog Balanced Rock and Pinnacle Balanced Rock on the trails.

We took lots of pictures below, but they do not do justice to the beauty of this place! Click here for photos from the Park’s webpage.

Mi Casa Restaurant

If you are ever in Benson, AZ you must eat at Mi Casa.

This is a family run restaurant with fabulous food. The food presentation was so pleasing to the eye. The flavors were amazing. Don’t leave without getting the Carrot cake and Sopapillas. Wow!

This is a very small restaurant with a limited number of tables, so be patient, you will not be disappointed. We both had the daily specials – outstanding.
