Gypsy Journal Rally -- Sunday

On Sunday morning, we left Apache Junction at about 10:30am after taking on 45 gallons of gas at a Wal-mart store for $2.17 a gallon. That looked like a pretty good deal around here, and then we got to Casa Grande, and we found one place that had it for $2.05!!

The 45 gallons carried us from Yuma, AZ to Puerto Penasco and back to Apache Junction, via Phoenix with some generator use. That was about 12 days of living/traveling, so the RV lifestyle is not overly expensive.

While in Mexico, we talked to Bob and Linda and they were going to a "Gypsy Journal Rally" in Casa Grande, AZ. I asked what it was, and they told me that a guy named Nick Russell of ESCAPEE fame published a travel newspaper called The Gypsy Journal, and he was hosting a rally for 5 days for $99. We thought it might be fun, so we called and signed up.

We are parked next to Bob and Linda, and I am on the internet from his satellite. You can see the satellite on his roof in the bottom picture. There are also tumbleweeds blowing across the desert here:

I will post more pictures from the rally as time goes on. It is fairly layed-back. The agenda won't be out until Monday afternoon at 2:30pm. They are expecting somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 rigs.
