Well this morning the gen wouldn't start at all, so had to turn the engine on to get it to start up. Oh then i was washing dishes and Nevada was cleaning up when the water went spurting, meaning we are out of water. Yep hubby never listens cause he just knows that there is lots of water in the tanks. NOT!
Anyway we got ready to go and went into town, looking for water and gas, stopped at the pilot gas station $2.19 for regular. sure beats $2.65 or what ever it was in Niland.
Then we wanted to stop at the Dollar store to get a few things, its on the way out of town, anyway next to it was Beals Discount store, well i could of spent a whole lot more time in there, they have some neat clothes really cheap. ,kind of like a factory outlet store. Anyway spent a few bucks in there. Think i will stop again on the way back to Q. $3.99 for shirts with Logan on them from AZ .
We saw the sign for gas, water and propane across the street from there as well. oh yeh and dumping. but we didn't need to dump just water. They charged $2.50 to fill your water tank.
Not too bad altho i am sure that a lot of places wouldn't charge anything. But i am not sure as they seem to be in the hands out position about this time of yr. Nothing is free.I also noticed that the Pilot station had signs up saying No Parking accept for truckers and ask permission first. They probably charge to have you park in there parking lot.
Boy we have been on this road before but don't remember all the Rv parks along the way, some are really huge, some have motels that have not been used in a long time and look pretty well in ruins. Guess all these resorts are coming up so maybe that is why there are so many.
Well we are in Wickenburg, about 12:30 pm geesh has this place grown as well, No places to park either, finally drove down to the rest area, were we are now, Nevada takeing a nap, we ate and so now he is sleepy, altho he was getting pretty tired before that.Not a bad place, but they do have signs out saying poinous snakes and bugs. So Princess is not going to be going outside, neither will I.I guess that we will go on down the road once he takes his nap.
Well we made it into Surprise AZ, man what a neat clean place, we drove around to some of the neighborhoods, clean, even looks like they polish there driveways, never did see a car sitting outside there home or along the streets. Very immaculate. also golf course for there back yards i think. They sure do run a lot of there golf carts down the street, guess you can do that, wonder if you can do that in Bend? I sure never have seen any.
We didn't want to call Ken & Bonnie till morning, so we found a road just not far from them. Actually its a road that also goes to the dump. but must have lots of houses that way,. we found this side road that has a few bushes and not far from the road that we are parked in. Waited till dark to put the slides out., but i don't think anyone knows we are here now.
No wifi tho, but i am going to put a movie on and watch one tonight havn't watched any for awhile. Another free night here, so far we have spent $5 for parking.

I guess we must of slept pretty good last night as i didn't hear the train or the cars go by so that was a good thing, Got ready to head down the road to Ken & Bonnies, found a Fry supper market and stopped and got groceries, it was a little after 8am when we left out camping spot. called Ken a little after 9:30 i think it was. he gave us directions on how to get to his place. I have to say for an Rv resort this is really nice, so many things to do around there just in the gated community. He droves us around to see some of the rv
sites. i guess i never thought about how those Az rooms were set up, some are really huge.This is Ken & Bonnie's AZ room, i call it a house. Check this site out for more information
Happy Trails resort
Here is there Motorhome next to it is there other lot and orange trees that she gave us some oranges from.YUM YUM.
This is the center were they do a lot of the crafts and stuff what a beautiful setting it is .There is a lot of activity that they do there, they have there own quilting rooms, Lapidary shops, and computer training and well the list goes on and on,, one would never have to leave there for things to do. Parties all the time. entertainers . Well when i get ready to never want to travel i think that would be a good place to be, but for now i will look forward to my traveling when ever i can.
Ken's folks were there as well from Pennslyvania. Nice couple that also Rv but came to see Ken during the holidays and flew out, also Ken was scheduled to have surgery. But i guess they will be leaving on thursday. Mary and Rich will be leaving the slabs on tues which is tomorrow.They will love Happy Trails rv resorts.
We are about 50 miles from Tucson in a TA truck stop, well actually there is a empty field next door and that is were we are parked, didn't see any signs for no tresspassing or no parking so here we sit all by ourselves in this huge field. But no wifi as all 3 signals requires a sign up. so will have to wait till the next free spot.Guess i will put another movie in later. Oh stopped at Pizza hut and had pizza $10 for all meat for a large what a deal.
