Prescott, AZ




The view from our 'patio'.  This is our 2nd location in Point of Rocks Campground, 4 miles north of Prescott.  The first location was noisier, not as scenic and swarming with ants, so we strolled around the campground to see what we could find.  This one is much better, well worth the hassle of moving and setting up again.

It's pronounced press-cut, by the way.  We'll stay here 2 weeks before returning home to LHC.  This area has had a lot of growth in recent years, being fairly close to Phoenix and a great scenic location for escaping the summer heat of the lower elevations.  Including Prescott Valley and other nearby urban areas, it boasts a population of 100K.



Above pix are of our wireless indoor/outdoor thermometer components - our 5th.  One was faulty: the outdoor sensor had a voracious appetite, ate a set of batteries every 6 days.  The other 4, well ..... the outdoor sensors jumped ship, are spread along the highways from AZ to AK and Nova Scotia to New Mexico.  When we stop for the night we hang them on the back side of the shroud that covers the propane tanks, attached thereto with velcro.  Problem is, we've got CRS, can't remember to remove them and place them inside the trailer before we head out.  I'm working on a permanent place to mount the outside sensor; buying a new one every few weeks is getting old.  Dumb, too, huh?
