Sunrise Above Lake Pleasant AZ |
I didn’t realize there was a pattern
until yesterday, when I pulled the cash out of my pocket for a third time. I discovered that I was touring the Maricopa
County Parks in my quest for wildflowers.
For the record, the County parks do
have an annual pass, but at $85, I’d have to make 15 trips to make the purchase
worthwhile. Perhaps their discount books
are more appealing;
3 coupons for $15
(a $3 saving)
5 coupons for
$24 (a $6 saving)
10 coupons
for $45 (a $15 saving)
When other responsibilities keep me
from an actual road trip, day trips must do.
Actually, Spring is a great time to be in the desert, close to home.
I find that things change quickly in the spring and
strive to be nimble in my planning. Here are some great resources with fresh
information about which areas which are in bloom.
Here’s a sampling of what I found;
