Happy Jack Arizona

Kaneke, Molly and I went to Happy Jack, Arizona last weekend for a weekend RV excursion. This was officially the 4th outing for our 5th wheel and we are starting to get more comfortable with our setup.

Our camping trip started a little rough. When I connected the water hose to the trailer and turned it on ~ water started flying out of the bathroom. Apparently ~ and for some odd reason ~ a fitting on the water supply line to the back of the toilet developed a split. No place in Happy Jack had the fitting so I called Malcolm and Melissa and asked them to bring me one from Flagstaff. The water leak was soon fixed and we settled down for meal of Brats, baked Beans, and corn-on-the-cob. Melissa stayed the night and Malcolm picked her up the next day at noon.

Happy Jack is at an elevation of 7,700 ft ~ which translates to cool days and cooler evenings. While there, Kaneke and I decided to snoop out some primitive camping areas in the tall pines for future trips. Most of the land in the Happy Jack area consistes of tall pines and is owned by the Federal Government. You can just pull your rig off the road into the forest on the dirt roads and drive back 5 to 10 miles for seclusion. While back in one area Kaneke and I discovered a very old corral and took a picture to share with our blog buddies.

Molly had a great time chasing ground squirrels in the campground and took up residence on a rock so she could keep watch for the little varmits..
