I had gotten a Facebook ad from the Fort McDowell folks about the First Friday Franks that talked about the menu for their gathering tonight at Fort McDowell Adventures. We did some checking and found that they have a set-up a few miles from Eagle View RV Park that is designed for group parties with bonfires, bbq, som' mores, horse riding, wagon rides etc.
The first Friday of every month, they host a gathering for whomever wants to come. It's an interesting place out in the desert. They have several firepits with seating that looks over the mountains. (That's the full moon just rising behind the hills.)
Tonight they had a choice of meats - I had a half rack of ribs and Forry had a hamburger, both served with a bowl of chili. There were tables set up in the courtyard with a full bar in the back. There was a cowboy singer over in one corner serenading us with his guitar. In the far corner, there was another fire with all the makings for som' mores.
By the time we finished our meal, it was dark. We went for a buckboard ride in the moonlight with this pair of Shires and their 16 year-old wrangler. The team was a nine year old mare and her two year old daughter.
This is the complex all lit up as we returned --
It was a fun evening. We'll probably think seriously about going again next month.
