We didn't say anything...

It's a Monday, and we are on the move.  Our last three moves have been on Mondays, and we have had some nasty wind.  Two days ago, the weather weasels were forecasting strong winds for our route from Laughlin, NV, to Phoenix, AZ.  We didn't say anything out loud about our plan to move, and yesterday, the weasels downgraded the wind forecast.

We were up early and ready to hit the road.  As soon as we crossed the Colorado River, we lost an hour (going from Nevada to Arizona).  I dropped Joan at a convenient McDonald's; she went in to get us a breakfast sandwich, while I found a place to put the motorhome and trailer.  No room in the McDonald's lot, but next door is a Chili's, and they aren't open, yet...

This rig is small enough that I can get into most lots, but not so small than any ol' parking place will do.  This one was easy.  Joan brought out our chow and we started the climb out of Laughlin/Bullhead City...

A pretty drive.  We motored over the pass, heading towards Kingman, AZ.  Through Kingman and onto I-40 driving east.  Decent road, and still very little wind.  We turned off on Hwy 95, making our way southeast, direct for Phoenix.  We passed a few boondockers...

... and marveled at how green things are in the desert right now...

An unusual occurance: we passed someone.  I usually keep our speed around 60 to 62 mph when we're towing...

Coming into Wikiup, AZ, the gas prices are a bit higher than the $1.31 we paid in Bullhead City...

This route is mostly 4-lane, occasionally narrowing to 2-lane, but pretty decent road.  And more greenery...

It wasn't long before we started seeing Saguaro Cacti on both sides of the road...

Then, a change to Joshua Trees...

Getting closer to Phoenix, the terrain flattens out - and even more greenery...

We pulled into the RV park around 1:30, and will be here for a week to visit with Steph and Dan.  We tried to get a site in their pull-through area (been trying since last December), so we wouldn't have to put the cargo trailer in storage.  Nope - nothing available.  (I drove through that area later on my scoot - 12 sites were unoccupied.  Yes, I know that doesn't mean they will be that way through the week.)

It didn't take us long to get set up...

We are right behind the site we were in during December and January.  Notice the rig next to us...

Yep; it is the ratty old Storm that was here when we were here.  You may remember the guy who picks up dog poop with his bare hands.  Yep.  Joan said, "Be sure to watch where you are walking - he may not have picked it all up!"

Izzy checked it out when we walked around our site... all clear.
