Tuesday, March 19 – another tourist day for Joan & Dave’s final escape from riding through Phoenix. This place was amazing. Established in 1939, 145 acres and over 50,000 plants. And a bonus butterfly house! I walked 2 miles, read everything & happily took pictures for four hours.
The day ended on a completely different note. For our last evening in town, we went to the local casino, where I actually gambled instead of just using the restroom. I entertained Dave & Phyllis at the poker machine, where I won $11.30. Really, Phyllis won it for me. I pushed buttons cluelessly.
How are things going Joan?Sorry we missed you and Dave before you left Sunbeam Lake.We wanted to see you before you left.We may stop and see you on our way home in a couple weeks,depending on where you are.
Hope Dave enjoyed the tunnel.Hope you were blocking for him.
It’s going well – you can see Dave’s daily distance has increased. We stayed 4 nights with my friend outside Phoenix, so that was a great base & a fun visit. Unfortunately, I wasn’t near Dave through the pass & tunnel area, but he did fine. I thought the road was a little scary, myself! It would be fun to see you on your way home (or in Mason sometime).

I am catching up on your photos and your posts because I haven’t been on your site in a while. The Desert Botanical Gardens are so perfect for you and I love your photos! Everything is so crisp and beautiful, (unlike our Ohio weather that is just crisp). Thanks for posting your adventure and keep it up!
