<\/a><\/p>\nThis saguaro looks like it’s about ready to put on a show.<\/p>\n
This prickly pear is covered with buds, too.<\/p>\n And don’t even get me started on the trees in bloom.<\/p>\n I got settled in at my campsite in WestWorld of Scottsdale, which is an exhibition center that focuses on equestrian events. I picked this place because it was located close to my friends from Kalamazoo, Konnie and Michael.<\/p>\n WestWorld is an interesting place to stay, even if it doesn’t\u00a0exactly rock a wilderness vibe.<\/p>\n Yes, there’s a great view of the mountains, as long as you lift your eyes from the acres o’ asphalt.<\/p>\n While I was there, though, lots of things were happening.<\/p>\n Polo<\/p>\n I wonder who won the chucker?<\/p>\n People were enjoying the match with their horse.<\/p>\n There were riders in the rings at the other end of the park. I looks like they were doing dressage, maybe. I did see them taking jumps under the lights one night.<\/p>\n Of course, after all that work, the horses need to be clean. Nobody likes a dirty horse.<\/p>\n There were a number of different stables that were on site for the events.<\/p>\n They all proudly displayed their ribbons and had comfortable places to sit when not doing horse-related activities.<\/p>\n Hey! Hay!<\/p>\n They also had a dog show taking place. It took them a couple of days to turn the polo field into the dog show market place.<\/p>\n One day they constructed the roofs of the tents, and then they raised them up the next day.<\/p>\n After the weekend, they tore down the dog show, the horse people went home and then they started getting ready for the next event – Arizona Bike Week. \u00a0That was taking place after my departure, however<\/p>\n I did take advantage to a few spare minutes between hanging out with Konnie and Michael and my touristic responsibilities to personalize Flo a little. While cleaning out a cabinet, I found the license plate to my old PT Cruiser. My father always said that it looked like a Pie Wagon, so I got a personalized plate for it. It said, “PI WAGN”<\/p>\n I guess a pie wagon was a body style that was developed for bakeries.<\/p>\n It was also a Funny Car style.<\/p>\n I decided to put the license plate on my screen door.<\/p>\n What would we do without cable ties?<\/p>\n Stay tuned for more of my adventures in the Phoenix area. Frank Lloyd Wright fans, get ready to hold on to your hats!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ll be sneezing!
