Sundance 1 RV Resort in Casa Grande, AZ, had a race track for Radio Controlled (RC) cars.  There were quite a few racers who met regularly to see who was the fastest or maybe who had the best control of their car.  There was rarely more than one complete lap before a crash.  Any disabled car on the track would call for a yellow flag.  If a car landed on its back another would ram into its side to flip it over again and the racing would continue.

Below you see the calm before the storm when the cars almost instantly accelerate to a scale speed of hundreds of miles per hour.  It seemed like the staggered starting positions were the opposite of what they should have been, but then what do I know?


The dog park was quite the social gathering each morning as dogs and their owners met for a little exercise.  Sam was quite enamored of all the cute little girl dogs.  I had to scold him many times for giving into his overactive libido.  One morning Sam got to "sniff" more than 15 dogs. Everyone was well behaved and a good time was had by all.



A walk around the park was rewarded with a varied array of beautiful blooming cacti.  The plentiful rains over the winter meant an explosion of cactus flowers during our stay.




Can you find the dove that has nested in this thorny cactus?

I had to wait to see it blink to make sure it was alive.



I remember this guy (I think from Minnesota) from our previous stay - he still reminds everyone why they are in Arizona for the winter.
