Patagonia Lake State Park

MsBubba, Sweet Maggie Dog, and I spent TMIDFTY (the most important day of the year, MsBubba's B-Day) "camping" in Patagonia Lake State Park. The park is between Nogales, AZ and Patagonia, AZ just a look see north of Mexico. The area was a major Wintering site for Native Americans and is one of the most beautiful parts of Southern AZ. 

Just one problem T-Moble coverage in the area is sparse and the Park's WiFi is spotty, our camp site for a couple of the days was missing WiFi. The satellite receiver worked so we were not totally cut off from the world but even MsBubba mentioned missing her cell phone. We somehow managed to survive the five days of roughing it in the motorhome by walks around the lake, throwing rocks into the lake for Maggie to retrieve, birding, talking, playing cards, cooking, eating and drinking way too much. I expect MsBubba would say it was one of the best TMIDFTY.

    1. Thanks Lionel, I hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday as well. There were lots of folks that were not keeping their distance but for those of us with a functioning brain cell it was easy to do.

  2. Great idea, here it was a balmy plus 16 C on Christmas day, no white Christmas at all, we actually went to the Fundy Bay shore to cool off :-)
    Did not know what to give her so I gave her a Romantic week end getaway just the two of us wherever, whenever she wants :-)

    Bob, where the ground is actually sort of white right now..

  3. Bob,

    Your WX may have been better than ours, it did get up to 20C a couple of times but was mostly 15C or so during the day down to 0C at night.

    Gifts are hard when you both have everything you need and have little wants.

    This so right.
    For the time being, hotels are not closed here but those which are open can only serve food in the room. So this is not attractive. So I would have to rent a cottage. But I am not much of a chef and one thing my wife liks in holiday is not to have to worry about cooking.

    1. Sylvain,

      Back in the day one of the pleasures of work was eating the local food and visiting the local Pubs. I feel for the guys flying the line today.

      The cooking part I have down so that is not a problem when traveling in the motorhome :-).
