HOUSE SALE UPDATE & MORE LITTLE BOX CANYON PHOTOS

A FEW PHOTOS OF THE HASSAYAMPA RIVER’S LITTLE BOX CANYON TONIGHT FROM WEDNESDAYS DRIVE TO THE NARROWS

We have a prospective buyer for our house who has agreed with our full asking price.  He dropped around Wednesday night to talk things over again & this morning we drove to his house south of Wickenburg to discuss things further.  No final decisions on our part yet.  We also dropped into Wickenburg’s Pioneer Title Company with a few more questions.  We still have a couple other offers on the table & possibly another one coming in shortly.  Decisions, decisions.  I remember a year ago at this time we were going round & round on what kind of a vehicle to buy to replace our Jeep Wrangler.  Two years ago right now we were going round & round whether to buy a Class A Motorhome down in Surprise Arizona.  Three years ago at this time we were…….ok, don’t wanna think about that one……….:((

AMAZING HOW THIS OLD GNARLED TREE ROOT HAS FORCED IT’S WAY THROUGH & AROUND THIS SOLID ROCK CLIFF WALL

Doing some research on my blog this afternoon I came across this post that some might find interesting regarding one of Arizona’s greatest scenic drives.  March 18th 2010 I wrote about Driving The Apache Trail.

GROANER’S CORNER:((  A little boy wanted 100 dollars badly and prayed for two weeks but nothing happened. Then he decided to write a letter to the Lord requesting the money. When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to the Lord, they decided to send it to the President
The President was so impressed, touched, and amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a 10 dollar bill. The President thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy.  The little boy was delighted with the money and sat down to write a thank-you note to the Lord, which read:  Dear Lord, Thank you very much for sending me the money. However, I noticed that for some reason you had to send it through Washington, and as usual, those jerks deducted 90% of it……….Love, Tommy

  4. Nice little canyon. And so close to home.

    Glad you reposted the Apache Trail blog. I was thinking of driving the MH up that way instead of the highway. But, after reading your blog, we will take the highway in the MH. We can drive the jeep down the Apache Trail after we get settled in at the lake.

  6. "ALWAYS INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THE FORCE OF WATER CARVES OUT HOLES & CAVES IN THE ROCK FACE" - We're the same! I'm always in awe when I see rock formations caused by water. Anyway, great pictures. :)

  11. You have full price offer. Close your eyes, bite the bullet. Say yes and sign the the papers. What is the worst that can happen?

  12. When prospective buyers come around SO quickly, you start wondering " maybe our price is TOO LOW". It's always such a personal decision, but if it were me, I'd bump the price to $90,000. What's the rush? This IS part of your retirement after all.
