Camp Verde, AZ

Our departure from Happy Jack occurred right on time shortly after noon yesterday. After saying our goodbyes to Chi Chi and Jamie we hit the road and arrived at Camp Verde at 1:30 PM.

Our site at the Western Horizon campground is a nice one right next to the satellite building that contains the showers and laundry facilities. The sites are large and we have plenty of room with some nice trees. Below are some pictures of the site, starting with Josie relaxing with a glass of wine:

Here is a shot from the front of the site:



A shot from the rear of the site:

And finally, a shot down the road from our site toward the mountains that surround the campground:


We took a walk after we set up and found the Verde River just a short way across from our site. It would be to the left of the above shot toward the mountains. There were several good spots along the river to fish from although the river runs pretty fast in most spots. We didn't take the camera on the walk so pictures will have to come later.

The move to Camp Verde occurred just in time to avoid the really cold weather at Happy Jack. Since it is 32 degrees outside here now, it must be about 15-20 degrees at Happy Jack. We also heard that snow is expected above 5,000 feet by Wednesday, so we are glad we made it out in time.

Josie is looking forward to her first day at Out of Africa today. I will take her to work this morning and pick her up after work. We need a few things from the grocery store - which is only a few miles away now instead of 50 miles. I will also make another attempt at getting our PO Box at the post office. I have a receipt from the campground, so we'll see if that satisfies them.

So, our second chapter begins in our full-timing lifestyle...
