On to Phoenix

This morning we disconnected the water and electricity; pulled in the slides; brought the jacks up; picked up the jack pads; shut off the propane; connected the toad to Auntie Violet; and left 3 Dreamers RV Park, heading for Phoenix.


Interstate 10 goes through some pretty flat desert that is occupied by several VERY large dairies. There are lines and lines of sheds filled with loafing Holstein cows.

We took the 101 Loop around Phoenix using the Garmin GPS instructions to Desert Shadows RV Resort. It did keep us out of the traffic in the city, but we ended up driving several blocks through a residential neighborhood. We might have been better off following the directions on the Resort's website which would have kept us on I-10 the whole way...

As I was walking from the RV holding/arrival area to the office, I heard someone whistling at me -- and sure enough, it was our friend Tom! We had not seen him and his wife Juni since we had stayed with them in Albuquerque over Christmas last year. What a treat to see our good friends again. They are the kind of friends with whom you can pick up conversation from a year ago just as if it was yesterday. Juni and Tom went to get haircuts while Forry and I got Auntie Violet set up once again. After being out in the desert, she badly needed the vacuuming and floor mopping that we gave her!
