Lake Pleasant

One morning the in-laws, the kids and I set out to see if we could find Lake Pleasant. I had heard about it and seen Lake Pleasant Parkway so I figured it was pretty close. The GPS said 40 miles but in actuality I would say we came upon it in no farther than 20. It was really cool to see such a huge lake in the middle of the dessert. We all loved exploring the area and I'm glad to know we have such a great recreational area so close to home. Maybe someday we can get a boat. And pull it behind our motorhome. And camp and go boating, and fishing, and hiking and off-roading........
