Three weeks? No Blog?

It has been a long time. So I need to catch up on our last days at Casa Grande and our travels since. We bid farewell to Gary and Carolyn on Friday, March 16 as they made their was north to Laughlin, and we and the Spragues headed north to the Grand Canyon. It is interesting that the Ouseys only live about 100 miles from us, but THEY LIVE IN A DIFFERENT COUNTRY so that must be why we have to go to Arizona to see them!! Perhaps we will meet up sometime this summer.

We spent a few nights in Camp Verde at a very nice park called Distant Drums, and then moved on to the Grand Canyon. Karen was able to call and score two sites for us at "Trailer Village" which is inside the park and walking distance to the information center and the market. The park has a marvelous free bus system that allows you to see all of the South Rim without moving your car. The canyon takes on a different persona from every angle that it is viewed. I didn't find the color to be as bright or intense as I remembered it, or at least envisioned it.

After leaving TGC, we spent one night in Bullhead city at a county park where we stayed last year, and in keeping with tradition, drove to Laughlin for In-n-Out burgers for dinner. Last Saturday, Rod and Karen moved to AVI in Lauglin for an Alpenlite Rally, and we came here to Desert Eagle RV Park at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas.

After some cool temperatures at the Grand Canyon, we are now running the A/C with the afternoon temps in the low 80s. This is a very nice park, and very popular, so we are only able to stay four nights. Rumor has it that one can reserve a site six months in advance and then stay for six months. NOT FAIR!! Old retired geezers that can afford motor homes need to use them as intended and make the wheels go 'round once in a while. I'm biding my time until I have the straight scoop, and if it is true, I will be frequenting every forum and website I can find to complain!!

We are not gamblers, and there is nothing showing downtown that catches our fancy so we won't even be going to the Strip. From here we will probably go to Pahrump for a few days, check in with Spragues for their travel plans, and then begin moving northward.

Cooper is still along for the ride; and the cookies, and the walks, and the attention. There was an elk cow that had walked through our park at TGC, and he just about lost his mind when we were out walking. Right now he is sprawled out on the sofa keeping cool under the A/C. A dog's life? I'll take it.
