Movin' day...


SuperBowl Sunday!  It is all that anyone is talking about here in Phoenix.  We had some other stuff to deal with today.

We moved to another RV resort for the next two months.  The one we headed to is very highly regarded... bigger, fancier, more facilities... and, truth be told, nicer management than where we have been staying.

We checked in at the front gate and rolled up to our site... oh, shit.  We looked at this site where we were here in September; it didn't have six inches of fresh gravel on it at the time.  I could see the tracks where the RV that was on there until today "plowed" their way off the lot.  It was a tough fit getting our 5th wheel into the narrow slot... and I had to use 4 wheel drive to "plow" our way through the gravel.

The site was originally set up for a park home: the sewer is WAY far to the back.  The electrical connection is even further back than that.  And the gravel is so loose that you literally sink into it when to walk on it.  There is a nice patio pad, but a couple goofy sidewalks make it impossible to get the 5th wheel next to it.

It took me a while to get over the shock of all the work we had to do to get into the site and set up.  Sheesh, this RVing stuff is supposed to be laid back.

A lady from the rental office came by to tell us we can't have our cargo trailer on the site. "HOA rules."  We kinda knew that.  Still don't like it.  We do, however, have a shed on the site, where we can keep our scooters and some other stuff that would normally be in the trailer.

Not really settled in, but there... and it was time to head to Steph and Dan's for some SuperBowl watching.  At half-time, it is all tied up at 14.  The second quarter was interesting.  The commercials have been mostly forgettable.  Katy Perry was overly showy.  The food has been mostly non-healthy, just the way I like it!

More as it plays out.

------------------

On edit: turned out to be a good game.  I was pulling for the SeaHawks; Joan and Dan were rooting for New England; Steph was neutral.  The SeaHawks had a chance to pull it out with a minute left... that interception is going to get "Monday morning quarterbacked" for a long time.

Congrats to the New England Patriots and their fans.
