Mileage: 58,395 White Tank Mountain Regional Park Phoenix, Arizona

This morning we were on our way to Phoenix on 10 east.

The desert floor was covered in a thick carpet of yellow flowers.

We camped at White Tank Mountain. This is a beautiful park and I wish we had more time to enjoy it! As we sat outside we saw all kinds of birds including hummingbirds, mourning doves, and a pair of Gila woodpeckers. We also watched a pair of chipmunks chasing one another and we saw a black lizard.

We had several things to accomplish in Phoenix. On our way out of the campground we saw this guy.

Our first stop was ISM Raceway. We needed to get our NASCAR tickets for next weekend’s race from will-call.

After getting a few last minute supplies. We drove to the Goodyear Ballpark. We watched preseason baseball Indians vs. Dodgers. The smell of popcorn and hot dogs, the green infield, and the rich red clay diamond…it all made you believe it was spring! This is a great facility and we really enjoyed watching the game. We love baseball! Tim was talking to one of the ushers. They all volunteer. This guy remembers his first baseball game at Yankee stadium. He got to watch Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris play. How cool is that!!!

We were serenaded by the coyotes during the night. Tomorrow Kyle and Allison will be here. We cannot wait to share our adventure with them!
