Weekend with the girls



This past weekend, I went up to the motor home with Lisa and Lyn.  We hung out, relaxed, had some great food and beverage, and went on an amazing buggy ride.  We went to Blue Ridge Reservoir and Blue Ridge Dam, just a little ways from Clint's Well.  We had to travel about 4 miles on the highway, but there was absolutely no traffic on Saturday!  The Reservoir is about 4.5 miles off of Hwy 87 on Forest Road 751, and the Dam is another 2 miles past the reservoir.  The views were amazing.  I was also awe struck at how close you can get to the actual dam and see on the other side of it.  It's a great place to go for a day-trip from Phoenix, or for the weekend if you want to tent camp in the area. There's also a public RV park, Happy Jack Lodge, just 4 miles away from Clint's Well and it's open year-round.

It was a little chilly up there since it is October, but it was so nice and relaxing.  Dennis and I are going up with a bunch of friends this weekend, and we're bringing our motor home back to Phoenix, since Clint's Well is closing next week for the season.  It's been a great summer, and we are looking forward to winter camping!

Our big trips coming up include Roosevelt Lake in mid-November and Temecula, California for Thanksgiving.  We are looking forward to hitting the road with the motor home!!

I hope everyone has a great rest of the week!  Please visit my Examiner.com page (link to the left) for the full story on Blue Ridge Reservoir and Blue Ridge Dam.  Thanks!
