I am officially heading north as of today. I made up my mind late last night to drive on over hanging around the Phoenix area another week. It may be a little early to start thinking about sleeping in the overnight Colorado temperatures, but it will be another 4-5 weeks...
I arrived in the greater Phoenix area on Friday and, once again, dropped in to hang out with my Sister for a few days. Today, after my normal work load, we both went to visit the Wildlife World Zoo & Aquarium in Litchfield Park, AZ. I’d like to say how...
