Very pretty, and the perfect place to spend summer, it seems!
Stacey and I stayed at Cave Creek Campground for one night. I think it was even free, which I remembered being excited about.
Wow, Cave Creek campground looks so cool and green with all those trees. What a beautiful place to work!
This looks like an ideal place to spend you time Gaelyn. I love places like it ..... especially when there are no people around. LOL!!
You live an exciting life! Looking forward for more 'my world' stories.

I also read your bottom post of being in Q are there many people there this yr.? I have a few friends there, the last 3 yrs we spent there. Last yr was the longest. a whole month.
There's a Cave Creek campground down in the Chiricahuas too. That's my old stomping grounds. I know I've said this before but - you are so lucky to live the life that you do!
