Arizona, Surprise, Happy Trails Resort Feb 1 - 29

Happy Trails Resort.  The atmosphere here is very relaxed, no one really moves very fast, including me.  Our friends from Denver, Bob and Irm and Irm's mother Rose live about two blocks from our site.  We've been doing a lot of things with them,  Playing a lot of cards and games, going to a few movies, and out to eat at local restaurants.

Happy Trails Resort, Surprise, Arizona
 We took a trip up to Lake Pleasant to kayak.  The surrounding area around the lake is not one of the pettiest that we have kayaked in.  But is was good to get into the water again.  There is not a lot of places to kayak here near Surprise.
 Just paddling along the shore.
There were not a lot of boats on the lake the day we kayaked.
View of the shore line.  quite boring if I say so myself.
More of the shore line.


We did find a lot of trash along the shore.  There were even garbage bags floating in the water.  I think this is one of the worst lakes I have ever kayaked.
I did find this anchor along the shore.  It can replace the one I lost in Florida.

A saguaro cactus  
A couple of Mallard ducks on the lake.
I have been feeding the Quail and Doves on the little hill behind the camper.
One of the many Doves that come to eat.  This one is a Rock Dove.
A young Grackle
A Male and Female Quail
The male Quail has a black patch on the under side near its feet.

The picture of this coyote was taken just behind the camper on the 14th Tee.  There are many of them in the park on the golf course.  We really have to keep an eye on the dogs when we let them outside.
Me and Kay at our first spring training game getting ready to go see the Rockies play the San Diego Padres.
Walt Weiss the Rockies new manager, was one of my most favorite players.
