Arizona's Profilers

Back to camp after the food, the night was dark, with a very cool breeze. Most of the campers elected to drain their water hoses for the overnight and the expected morning freeze. Yes, it was that kind of weather. While the forecasters were predicting snow, or rain, the sky remained cloudless with a half moon glaring down.

As anticipated, the morning arrived with temperatures several degrees below freezing. Those that drained hoses and ran on internal fresh water tanks were up and running. About 7:30 the remaining hoses began to thaw.

The first half of this day was available to view sites of interest in the area. Ft. Verde State Historical Park, Montezuma’s Castle National Monument, Wal-Mart and other places. Finally in late afternoon our twenty some campers gathered in the resort’s common room for our pot-luck. As is always the case with this group there was food a’plenty starting with our hosts’ pulled pork bar-b-que, the variety of sides and salads and an overloaded dessert table.

After the meal and a short club meeting, we learned a new "Pegs and Jokers" game.

Wednesday morning, in time for the planned continental breakfast, Don Costello and Paul Ziminski came up from Scottsdale for the breakfast. They also brought some rather tasty muffins to contribute. A very nice treat.

Much later in the morning most everybody found a friend and traveled up to Sedona and checked out the wide variety of shopping and historical sights to visit. Various places were tested for lunch and most were reported as quite satisfying.

Returning to the camp ground there was some time to "put the world in order" before it became dusk and cool enough to find some food on your own then migrate back to the park rec. room for more conversation and games.
