It's Wednesday, and We're in Phoenix

We drove from our overnight spot in Benson, AZ to Phoenix today via Tucson. In Tucson, we stopped at La Mesa RV Center (with a Camping World store) in an attempt to see the Winnebago Adventurer version of the model 38T that we viewed in Victoria. If you remember, the one we viewed was an Itasca Suncruiser. La Mesa in Tucson did not have one, but did have a Suncruiser. They did, however, locate a Winnebago at their RV center in Phoenix. That is why we are here!

While in Tucson, we toured Old Tucson, and went to a Trader Joe's Store to pickup some halibut fish filets and some frozen vegatable packages that we acquired a taste for when we were in California last year. We also purchased a new smoke detector for the MH at the Camping World store.

We are spending the night at the Flying J truck stop in Phoenix. We have purchased food and supplies for our week in the desert. Tomorrow, I will fill the fresh water tank, and dump the two waste tanks right before heading to Quartzsite. They have facilities there, but I suspect the lines will be long. We will also top off the gasoline and propane tanks. Here's a night-time picture of where we are parked:

Our plans are to go to La Mesa to see the Winnebago 38T in the morning, and head to Quartzsite about 1:00PM or 2:00PM.

Editorial Comment

I have recieved some good comments from friends and relatives about this blog that I started at the end of December. However, today, I got two complaints....... one from a cousin that did not read far enough back and wanted to know where the Mexico pictures were, and the other from my most wonderful (and only) daughter-in-law who had read our profile and wanted to know "how we could have two wonderful grandchildren without a wonderful daughter-in-law". I did not have the time to explain DNA to her, so I just edited the profile!!!!!
