The last leg.

Omg..we thought the drive would never end.  Got up to snow and ice this morning. The road a little dicey.  There was a stretch where the wind was blowing sidewys across the road, and the road was icy. A truck passes us caused us to almost be blown off the road. We managed to get through that stretch of road,  early.however, a truck threw rock and chipped the windshield...ugh. we encountered rain and snow along with high winds to the entire journey, but made it home in 12 hours.  Made for a long drive...now to get unloaded, all of our things put away, and get ready for work tomorrow.  5:00am does come early.

The travel back

We did not have with Fi for a couple of days....so, here is what we did Thursday and Friday:
Thursday we toured some of the park models available for sale, and the facilities.  There is a ton of things to do here included in the park fees/rent.  We attended the current production of "On The Border".  Really fun play, with dessert included.
Friday we left early and went to Old Tuson.  This is an all day event, but it was solo much fun.  We took the movie tour, rode the train around the park, saw a dancehall show, stuntmen demonstration, a scene from "The Hangman". Had lunch, and it was 4:00 before we knew it.  On the way back to the park, we drove through Saguaro National Park.  The scenery was just beautiful.  None of the cactus was in bloom, but fascinating all the same.

Today we headed back towards home.  The weather was not kind...has been snowing in the high country, and cold.  Stopped at Young's RV in Caliente, Nevada for the night.  Hope we get home between storms tomorrow.

Dwarf cars

Yesterday we spent hanging out with my family.  However,today we went to the dwarf car museum in the outskirts of Maricopa.  What a treat.  The cars were awesome, and the owners were super nice.  We just missed Jay Leno, he was there last week!  I had never seen a dwarf car before, and did not know what to expect.  The cars are miniature roadsters...not quite toy size, they all had motors , and sounded like drag cars.  What a fun time.

Day 2: .we stayed at a truck stop last night..close to the freeway and our next leg of the journey.  Since we didn't unhook from the truck, the trailer was tilted.  You could say we slept with our feet in the air!  We had 2 GPS/map systems going.  Needless to say, they did not agree😂
We did see some beautiful country along the way, and there were signs, and gas stations!  Made it to Casa Grande.  We now have water and power.  Life is good.

2018 Wanderings

Today we started out for Phoenix, Arizona.  The weather man had predicted snow for today.  Good thing he was wrong. We took a detour through Thousand Springs Scenic Highway bypassing Twin Falls headed to Jackpot, Nevada.  Nevada is a miserable State to drive through.  We had high winds that kept our rig from traveling the speed limit.  The thing about Nevada...if you see a gas station....STOP.  There are few places to get fuel.  Some of the town's listed on the map do not have fuel. It is not uncommon to go 200 miles or more between filling stations.  Today we traveled 12 hours on our journey.  We are parked at a Loves Truck Stop just outside the Freeway entrance where Highway 93 meets 15.
Our journey did gave some sightings...1very large gopher, and 2 coyotes.  The first coyote was standing next to the Highway and looked both ways before crossing.  Had to laugh at that.  The 2nd one had already crossed the highway.  Several places along the way there are deer crossings where the road goes under a bridge for the deer.  Quite unique.  Tomorrow is another day..should arrive in good time.
