We're Here!

187 miles to go according to the GPS this morning --about four hours the way we drive. Of course, the last fifty miles or so, when we hit the suburbs of Phoenix took the longest. There are lots of stop lights when you get into urban areas!

The hillsides here in this part of Arizona reflect the monsoon rains from earlier this summer. There is lots of growth and grass. The bushes all look healthy -- quite a contrast to the drought-stricken areas of southern California we drove through.

We cut off of Interstate 40 and went south on Highway 93. This highway is labeled as Arizona's Parkway of Joshua Trees. There are lots of hills as you go through the Vulture Mountains towards Wickenburg. It's a very pretty and scenic drive.

We pulled in to Eagles View RV Park about 3:30 and were greeted with a grin by Sandy at the front desk, "We've been waiting for you!" We got backed into Site 169, plugged in the electricity and hooked up the water; put down the jack pads; leveled the rig and put out the slides.

We'll unpack other stuff tomorrow from Toad II. The chairs and loungers, my trike, the lights, our road runner and other stuff. We'll put our rug out and hang the bird feeders. Then we'll feel like we're home for a while. But, tonight we're tired. We'll eat our chicken wings and mashed potatoes, watch the bull riding and go to bed!
