Workman Creek

We went camping not this past weekend but the weekend before. We had such a blast! It was so beautiful where we went. We planed the trip a while ago to "escape the heat" but the weather here has been really nice! We've barely topped 100 lately! So we weren't leaving excruciating heat but we did go enjoy the beautiful out doors! I think we found the most beautiful spot in all of AZ! Thank you Phil! We went with our good friends Heather and Phil. Our camp site was right next to a creek and it was up in the mountains and looked nothing like a desert! I think it even smelled better up there! We had fun fishing



While we were fishing Heather and I's tp (which was with us at all times seeing how we both have to pee at all times!) fell in the creek! We were both sitting in our chairs with our poles when it just fell and rolled down the rock right into the creek! It was just like a movie playing in slow motion! We both had stuff on our laps and couldn't jump to get it so mid sentence we stopped and just watched to go! SO SAD!!!! Heather went to retrieve it out of the creek, but it was a goner!





We also did some hiking,








as much as our prego bodies could take. Or maybe I should say my prego body! Heather was trucking along with no problems and two babies in her belly! We ate some good food, played some games. The boys did some shooting, or at least attempted to. That didn't work very well so they resorted to throwing rocks at the targets...balloons.




Young was the closest town. It has a booming population of 800 half of which are retirees! On the way we got a flat tire! So the boys fixed the car and Heather and I took pics! What else would we do! LOL


















When we were there we ate at Alice's Restaurant and Cantina.

The restaurant was attached to her house! It was an add on!


Yup that's a restaurant!! It was one of only two restaurants in the town. I think we chose the wrong one to try! We walked in and had to bat away flies to find the table! Then when we were ordering I asked the server what was on the quesadilla and she replied "Oh honey I'm not the person to ask!'' LOL then who is?!?!? So she went and asked Alice! The food was awful! But the view was awesome! And we needed food!! So it worked! Next time though we know to go to the other restaurant and hope it's better!
When we got back to camp from town our awning had blown away into the creek!!



We went down to retrieve it and found our watermelon missing!!! SOMEONE STOLE OUR WATERMELON!!! And you know there is one thing you should never do.....mess with a pregnant woman's food! I was ticked! And literally let out a very loud, moan/howl
"NOOOOOOOO NOT THE WATERMELON!!!!"
In retrospect it was quite melodramatic and over the top! But in the moment I was lamenting the theft of my delicious watermelon I had been waiting days to have! Don't think I got over it quickly either! I was still sad about it later that night!
We also went to two ranger stations at the very tops of two peaks!




The views were breath taking!



What else would you expect from this elevation!?!?!


The rangers are a special breed of man! They live up there for 6 months at a time! How boring and lonely! One of the rangers was smart and had a dog!
There was also a waterfall just up the road from our camp ground. It was so beautiful!







Over all it was just a great weekend!
