From Charleston Peak RV Resort & Winery

We found out they were having a local rodeo very near the resort. There were no professional riders but the cowboys and cowgirls did a great job. One of he funniest things we saw was the calfing. The cowboys came out of the shoot (I think that's how it's spelled) holding on to one of the bull's horns and an arm around his neck. Then he was to try to throw the bull. Once or twice the bull took the cowboy the entire length of the arena and the cowboy never got the bull to the ground. It was over so quickly I did not get a chance to take a picture.

Another thing we had not seen before was the "hide" races. A cowboy lays down on a hide attached to a rope tied to a horse's saddle and race against another cowboy doing the same thing. It was really funny and we had a great time.

On Sunday we moved about two miles to Charleston Peak RV Resort and Winery. The park is beautiful and we’re looking forward to visiting the winery. There are approximately 200 sites, three helipads, a beautiful pool/hot tub area with an outside bar/refreshment area, and of course the Winery and restaurant. The resort is surrounded by new home models (custom built) and one existing neighborhood.

We did not hook up the car and I just followed Chris. When we arrived and started setting up, we discovered that the jar candle (which I always have one on the warmer). had turned over into the sink. Have you ever tried to get liquid candle wax off cups, electric skillet, and the worst of all, is that the liquid candle wax went down the drain in the sink. Before we could do anything else, we (and I mean Chris) had to completely take the sink pipes loose and get the wax out. It went all the way to the pea trap and just a little beyond. We did not realize how much the pipes needed cleaning out until this happened. Ugh, what a mess. Now, we have the cleanest pipes around and will make sure that the jar candle is secure when we move and that we clean our pipes more often.

We have just been relaxing going for the two for one buffets and little else. It is so peaceful and quiet here that’s it’s hard to leave (and I mean that sincerely). We get up early and walk (the distance around the park here is shorter than it was at Preferred) and the streets are paved. We still have the beautiful view of the mountains and the desert.
