As you can see from the photo, the campground is nearly full. There are a few sites here and there that are empty. Many of the license plates on the RVs are from colder states whose occupants are obviously here to escape winter.

He mentioned that back home there is eighteen inches of snow on the ground. I cannot blame those northerners who are able to escape the winter weather for heading south during the winter.<\/p>\n<p>Damsel and I look at the license plates at home in Wickenburg too, since our town is a very popular place for snowbirds and rodeo participants. Thursday last, we counted a dozen or more from places like Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Washington, Oregon and even a couple from Alaska. <\/p>\n<p>While Damsel and I are bundled up against our &#8220;winter&#8221; conditions (highs in the 50&#8217;s), some of those guys show up at the store in shorts and T shirts. I guess coldness is a relative thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re in our usual desert RV park visiting the kids and grandson.
