January 20, 2016. Cruising on Canyon Lake

CAMPGROUND:  Another night at Lost Dutchman State Park
LOCATION:  Near Phoenix, in Apache Junction, Arizona
WEATHER:  Very nice.  Highs in low 70s

We biked to a mesquite exhibit in the park demonstrating how to pick, grind, and eat mesquite.  It was quite interesting.  We tasted pancakes made from mesquite flour.

We spent more timing cleaning the dusty Airstream.  George tackled windows while I did the aluminum blinds.

Then, we rewarded ourselves with a cruise on Canyon Lake on the Dolly  Bell. It reminded us of our trip with Uncle Leo and Aunt Martha on Lake Mead.  

 
The boat followed the cliffs where we spotted bald eagles and big-horned sheep.


They played soft classical music.  While we sipped a glass of wine, I pictured us on a German river cruise, like the TV commercials for Viking River Cruises.  

Here is captain George....

 And first mate Karmen....

DINNER:  Chili.  I seem to have lots of beans to use up in the emergency food box, so I put them to good use with chili.
