Show Low, AZ

Wednesday & Thursday, September 26 & 27, 2018

We relocated to Show Low, AZ on Wednesday. We stayed at Woodfield RV Park. It is a 55+ park. 

The sites here are not very wide and we barely had room to park our car. Also the site was barely long enough before it severely sloped towards the street.  We never could get perfectly level. Also the streets were narrow and not easy to maneuver a 40' motorcoach. While it was a beautiful area, we will not return to this park with this rig. The other good thing about this park was that it is part of Passport America and we could get 3 nights at $25 each.

Thursday we took a walk on the Rim walk in town. It was not as impressive as we expected based on the write-up.

 Look at the knurled branches in the tree.

 This is our first view from the canyon ridge.

 This was the only high point along the walk.

 Tic went down the hill a little ways to try for a better picture. Below was his view. All we could see were lots of pine trees. The pine forest was very dense.

Look how the rocks on the edge of the canyon seemed to be slipping away.

It is unusual to see these two trees, one a pine tree the other an alligator cypress, together because they require opposite growing conditions. Apparently this area along the Mogollon Rim is the only area were you will find these 2 trees growing together.

This is the sign showing the trail we walked. It was nice to get out and take a walk. Show Low and Pinetop are pretty towns.
We did enjoy the weather and beauty of the area. We will be at our winter home, Desert Gardens RV Park, near Florence, AZ on Saturday.
