Sunday
We packed up from Krazy K and took a gentle ride (mostly downhill) to the outskirts of Phoenix, where we took a turn to the West on to R 74 to get to Lake Pleasant, a Maricopa County Regional Park, based round a reservoir in the middle of the desert.
At the junction of R74 and I17 we stopped to pick up supplies and have a cuppa. we had the choice of Starbucks inside Albertsons, a nice posh coffee shop, or a donut place. Inexplicably drawn to the donut place we had a look in - it looked kind of basic, but on asking they did Earl Gray Tea, so in we went. So this donut place worked a bit like Subway - except with donuts. They cook your donut from scratch, while you wait, they add all the toppings and fillings you want, then you can eat it with your drink. Possibly the best donuts we have had since coming to America!!!!
A quick shop in Albertsons then off to our prebooked campsite, which we were relieved to find was big enough, not overlooked, had a shelter over the picnic bench and also had a view of the lake. Hope it will be a nice place to be for a few days.
