Gadget’s Airstream Chronicles

Ah, back to the usual grind!  Out of the fun trip mode, and into a working mode.  Hmmmm……

Fortunately, yesterday I carried the whole Anza-Borrego experience with me.  Anyone who asked would get a whole story of the fun I had.  And I’d tell them about all the neat places I saw, and about the places I want to see next time I head out there.

It’s nice when you enjoy a trip so much that even when you’re back in reality you still feel like you’re out there.  :)  How nice is that?

The trip to Anza-Borrego is exactly what I was needing.  One year ago I stopped in there, and it was “just right”.  After staying for almost 2 weeks I headed back into Arizona to look at Sedona, and then I planned to move on to Cortez, Colorado.  On my way I passed through a unique little town, Prescott.  And I thought to myself, “Hey, this place looks interesting.”

I spent two days near Sedona.  While there though I kept looking into Prescott, and thinking about Prescott.  It seemed like a cool town.  Maybe a week there would be worthwhile.  So I pointed the Airstream back toward Prescott, found Point of Rocks, and fell in love with the town in 24 hours.

I remember holding back on posting about the spot.  Why?  Because after 1 day I wanted to say, “I found the perfect place.”  But after weeks and weeks here I figured readers got the idea, Prescott was the right stop for me.

I’m still very enamored with the town.  If only there was more tech here.  If only I didn’t keep hearing “over-qualified.” Maybe those changes will come in time.  For the moment, I’ve restored the whole happy feeling I had when I found this town.  And the feeling of exploration and enjoyment from Anza-Borrego is with me again.

I’d say that all of this great stuff stems directly from my little trip.  Glad a short vacation can provide so much!
