One finally caught up to us...

This came up too fast for us to hook up and skeedaddle!

Quarter size hail, did not do any damage this time.  One was golf ball sized!  The one in my hand was a typical size; I wasn't about to forage out to retrieve the lone golf ball sized one!!  Some of the Ford trucks had some damage because of their aluminum construction.

We've been here a week or so waiting for the rally to start and had a chance to visit a few sights.

We stopped at Toucan Jim's, a pirate themed restaurant with plenty of seating options!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, here are a few more pictures at the park.

This old, old, longhorn hangs out in the shade most of the day.

These 2 donkeys ended up on the wrong side of the fence somehow :)  They were successfully corralled.  No animals were harmed in this valiant undertaking... 

A breath of cool air can always be found down by the river :)

We don't really need to be careful around these gals; they're painted stones lol!

Here's another visit to an old, well-visited restaurant, Camp Verde.  ​Camp Verde started out as a United States Army post in 1855. This post was where researchers looked into the feasibility of camels in the United States. Researchers noticed that other animals panicked at the smell of camels. So, They decided against using camels and released them from the facility to roam around as they please. Residents, at this time, described that there were several beasts roaming the area. These “beasts” they referred to was the Army post’s camels. In 1861, Confederate Forces captured Camp Verde. Egyptian handlers took the camels and used them to haul cotton to Mexico. Soon after, the camels were sold to different zoos and circuses.
Today, Camp Verde is a community consisting of a cemetery, a general store, and remains of the military post. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

And, of course, a couple of pig themed items were found and made their way back to our trailer!
