Apache Junction - Oct 13th

Well back in AJ, at the Carefree Manor RV Park. The park is pretty empty yet, but Curtis said they have a bunch of arrivals this month. Apparently there was a foot of snow in the Dakotas and cold weather in the northern states, so that creates activity. Had a nice drive up from Quartzsite, about 3 hours from here. It's Columbus day, celebration of that eventful voyage in 1492, so a long weekend. Warm on yesterday, car temp read 93F. Went to Camping World, now there is a shoppers paradise for RVers. Bought a bunch of stuff we didn't know we needed. Filled up at the Circle K, $2.33 per gallon ;>). Went to the chinese buffet we discovered last winter. Great food, they must have shrimp 10 or 12 different ways. This will be a catch-up day. For me that will mean washing bugs off the mhome, for Marg the laundry. May go for a dip in the outdoor pool if it gets too hot and even have a cold beer. Not sure about blogging tomorrow as it will be pack up and drive. We plan on meeting Krista in Las Vegas, so will probably spend 2 nites there. Plan on taking the more direct route thru Kingman & over the Hoover Dam. Then the long push back to home, still need to do some hunting. Would all of you Hurtin' Albertans do something about the weather before then as we need clear roads. Will blog as we get opportunities.
