The Nubian goats are almost done with being bottle fed. It's hard to believe that we brought
Koko and Patch home in a cat carrier in April and now after 5 months they're both over 50 lbs.
Vision has adjusted well to her new home and has gotten very maternal with the kids. We
graze them every morning throughout the campground around 7 a.m.
Sprite the parakeet, who was found in bad shape and easily captured drinking out of our
sluice, has recovered well. This little guy escaped from it's owner and found his way to us.
Life in the desert can be rough when your bred to be in a rain forest.
The first tarantula of the season is on display at the front desk. It's a baby and we are hand
training it. We were concerned that we had not seen any since the construction in the area
has disturbed them. We will return the spider back to the wild in time for mating season and
hibernation.
This month we rescued two young male white rabbits that showed up on the kampground.
We have them under observation, but they seem to be adapting well. It's a good thing Lauren
and I are well versed in raising and caring for rabbits. We can only assume that they either
escaped or were abandoned. If we were to guess, they were Easter presents. We'll never
know for sure, but in the four years we've been here we have seen too many abandoned
dogs and cats left to die in the desert. Some people have gone so far as to deliberately drop
their unwanted pets up at the monastery at the top of our hill adjacent to the KOA. A practice
which is wrong on so many levels. Responsible pet owners know that caring for a pet is a
lifetime commitment. Enough said.

We had Heliocol of Arizona supply and install a state of the art solar panel system for our
kampground pool. This improvement will extend the swimming season into the Fall and
Winter months.
We have completed installation of our new dog run located near the playground and are
awaiting some contracted pieces to be delivered. The run has been equipped with a
watering system, waste disposal, and exercise equipment for your best friend.
Our approach to customer service is to
provide a pleasant experience from the
moment of first contact. For many that's a
phone call. We strive to have your call
answered by a person rather than an
answering machine during regular
business hours. As well as having an
after hours security line to handle
questions after hours. If we are away
from the office your call is forwarded. It
may not be convenient to take your
reservation, however we can answer most
questions, and at a more convenient time
we'll call you back and finalize that
reservation for you in our computer
system.
If you call while we're on the line with
another customer we use the call waiting
function to take you number and
immediately call you back.
The Trans-Western Pipeline project is in
full swing next to the kampground. Since
there is a safety hazard of open trenches,
some of the nearby trails are not available
for exploring. However, if your quad is
street legal, we have alternate trails for
you. Of course, you need to access them
from the street.
When the pipeline is in the ground,welded
up and buried the restrictions to the area
will be lifted. We will keep you posted.
