FROM 80 DEGREES TO SNOW

We  traveled  to  Cottonwood,  AZ  on  2-19  from  Emerald  Cove.  For  several  days  before  we  left,  we  had  80  degree  weather.   You  could  find us  at  the  Hot  Tub  during  Happy  Hour  and  then  sunning  ourselves  on  the  pool  deck.   What  a  life.   This  is  what  traveling  in  the  winter  is  all  about.

So  much  for  that!   The  last 2  days  we  have  had  a  high  of  42  degrees  and  we  even  had  snow  yesterday.  BURRRRR!   Southern  CA.  is  having  a  storm  and  we  are  also  getting  it.  There  was  a  golf  tournament  cancelled  in  Phoenix  or  Tucson  because  of  snow.   We  lost  our  Direct  TV  signal  feed  last  night.   Denny  went  to  investigate  and  there  was  an  inch  of  snow  on  it. 
 
We  debated  about  skipping  Cottonwood  and going  straight  to  Palm  Springs  (our next stop) because  we  knew  it  would  be  colder,  but  decided  to  stick  it  out.   Not  sure  we  made  the  right  decision,  but  we  are  only  here  for  2 weeks.   I   am looking  forward  to  lots  of  new  geocaches  with  wine  tasting  along  the  way    This  area  is   a new,  up  and  coming  wine  destination.
 
 
We  were  on  a  geocaching  trip  up  to  Parker  Damn  and  saw  several  donkeys.   Wild  donkeys  hang  out  along  the  road.   We  made  another  trip  one  evening  to  go  to  dinner  and   saw  several  groups  of  ten  or  more.
 

 
 
After finding a geocache at this spot, I had to take a picture of the damn.
 
 
 
Another geocaching spot, but on the other side. We didn't find the cache, but it was a beautiful view
 
 
 
The pictures below were taken on the beach at Emerald Cove. I was in the same spot, turning in 3 different directions
