1st: A arrived in Mayer, AZ

2nd: It's fun to get up and see a whole covey of Gambel's Quail, 3 families of Dad, Mom, and 4 babies, 18 in all. Next to the trailer is an enormous butterfly bush (10'x10') that's a Mecca for butterflies, as well as humming birds and some sort of beetle.

3rd: We head into Prescott for the day and some shopping and eating at a really nice Olive Garden.

4th: Had a wicked storm late in the afternoon and some really big gusts of wind that did some damage to the awning. We'll need to get some new arms.
