Whew!
The Eagle has landed. If you said, " Neil Armstrong, when the first man-made craft (the "Eagle") landed on the moon, now used to indicate the completion of a 'mission objective'," you get 10 bonus points. And, in our case: the Aspect has landed.
It was an uneventful trip from Tucson to Goodyear - just the way we like it. Leaving Tucson...
A landmark...
Picacho Peak. This was one of the "we made it to the warmth" signs when we first started getting away from the frozen northland in the winter. And, a symbol of the desert...
Not the Variable Speed Limit Corridor sign - the Saguaro Cactus. It makes me thirsty just looking at it. ;-)
One new thing along our route: the Loop 202 is now complete from south of Phoenix, west then north, back to I-10. I don't think it saves miles, but it completely eliminates the city traffic - we breezed through doing 60 to 65 mph, with no slow-downs. From there, it was I-10 to our exit.
Steph had let us know that there is road construction blocking our usual way to the RV park. The work-around is 1 mile further on the frontage road, then come back a half mile or so. No problem.
Joan went to the office to get us checked in, then we started our settling-in set-up. This is a lot more than for an over-night stop. Joan staked down two patio mats while I got the utilities set up. Your sewer hose isn't allowed to "touch the ground" in Arizona, so I have to do more set-up to make that happen. We unloaded the cargo trailer, getting the scoots unstrapped and ready to ride. Being the helpful guy I am, I did take them each up and down the street to make sure all is good with them; it is. The coach is leveled, the utilities connected, the slides are out... we are getting settled in.
Steph and Dan came by after work. This is a busy time for them - it is good to see them again. Time to make plans. I called my buddy Mark - there is music to be made!
I don't think we'll run out of things to do for the next couple months.
;-)
