Lake Pleasant, AZ

P1010043

We ventured out for Spring Break to Lake Pleasant!  There is a Maricopa Regional Park on the lake and we had a great spot with a view of the lake.  The weather was spectacular with temperatures in the low 80’s and a nice breeze.

While the guys were out trying to catch the elusive nesting Bass, they did spot the burros!  The burros remain from early mining operations in the area and now are ‘wild’.  They were wary of humans, as were the fish.

Later in the week, we were joined by some good friends.  The kids were brave enough to jump into the 59 degree water for some knee boarding!

I decided to keep dry in our Sea Eagle kayaks and watched the girls take one for a spin!

A wonderful time was had relaxing with family and friends in the warm Arizona sunshine- most definitely pleasant!

Imperial Sand Dunes- Gordon’s Well

Toys filled the back of the hauler and we were off to the Imperial Sand Dunes at Gordon’s Well, a  sand landscape with big dunes and good friends.

The dunes are amazingly large and vast.  It’s important to stay close to the person in front of you, because if you lag behind you may lose sight of them behind the next dune.

Can you see our leader on the right?
