The Rancho Vistoso experience


Rancho Vistoso, is in Oro Valley, Arizona. Bev and I decide to spend a few days there and .......'just like that' ......after two days of riding in the rain we arrive!
Beverly, of course, is in the car and I rode.
Rancho Vistoso (RV) is about 800 miles from home.

Dark skies dogged us for two days, but still it was two days on a bike! Win!!
More dark skies and some HARD RAIN as we motored across the reservation.

A small section of the grounds of Rancho Vistoso. I've stayed at RV at least 6 times and the place is always immaculate!
Looking out the front door.
Looking off the deck.
When I stay at RV its fun to sit on the deck at night and "talk" to the coyotes. There are a LOT there and once you get them yipping it can go on for a several minutes.
And a corner of the activities center.

We take a walk and I get this picture.....

Then I ask Beverly to be in the pic....
Haha...its decoration in our room!

The US60. The road from Show Low to Globe. A fantastic road!

 
Butch Cassidy, the Sundance kid, Tombstone, and three other bad dudes!
(in Hanksville)
We stay at the Muddy Miners Cabins - and Highly recommend it! 
On our way home we change our plan at the last second and get a cabin at this place - The Muddy Miner (or at least close to that)
a

Southern Utah is absolutely the most beautiful place in the world!


Aaaaand its time to go home.....
As a kid,  when we traveled anywhere when we turned into our long driveway my mother would invariably say, 'travel east travel west, after all home is best'. 
It took me years of growing up before I understood her meaning.

Life is a roller coaster sometimes!
