We-Ko-Pa - Roadrunner haven

Today we enjoyed playing a round of golf at We-Ko-Pa.  We've played this course when we were here the last time. It's a beautiful course and we all really enjoyed playing here.  The weather was really great and it became really warm as the day progressed.  While driving here, the temperature changed from 61F to 45F.  It's always much colder in the desert.

While golfing we saw a coyote off to the side at one of the holes.  It was very exciting to see this.  Sadly we didn't get a picture.  The course had many many roadrunners.  They were fun to watch as they scurried about.    I've been looking for a hatclip with a roadrunner on it, but so far have not been successful.

After golf, we asked the guys in the Proshop if they could recommend something nice to do during the afternoon.  They recommended that we drive to Phoenix and drive up to the top of South Mountain and enjoy the view/scenery.  We thought this was a great idea.  Unfortunately in August they had 3 monsoons and the road leading to the top was washed out.  We took another direction and got about halfway up.  It was still nice to see all of Phoenix while relaxing and enjoying the view.

 

For our golf competition - Ralph was the winner once again.  Todays draw was for the person with the most balls on the green in regulation.  Ralph was the winnder again today. It was close with Grace coming in right behind him.  Congratulations Ralph.

 

We enjoyed a nice relaxing dinner tonight at Houstons.  The food was amazing and it tasted so good.
