Phoenix, AZ









Larry Fitzgerald visited our campsite today!! A real Arizona/Minnesota connection!! Lots of neat and tasty things happening in Phoenix and throughout Arizona!

WOW, Alex lives in a great place! What a neat place and what wild creatures and plants!! It is like a different world here! We even got to taste the Southwest with some salsa and chips!! It would be great to stay and check out some minor league baseball games!!

What an awesome place! There is so much to do here! I think that I will go golfing at one of the 200 courses here this afternoon. No wonder this has become a major conference center for the US!
