Last travel day, January 2nd

On the road at a good time, participated in the very long line to get a security search before crossing the Hoover Dam. There was an option for a strip search, so I went twice, LOL. Thank you Al Queda, or however you spell it, you have finally contributed something to life here. Travelled thru the Joshua Tree forest, very scenic. Got to Carefree RV resort in Apache Junction about 3:30 and fired up the RV. It started, god bless America & those diehard batteries. The temp at Vegas was about plus 40, in AJ it was plus 72, now we remember why the journey. Went to Frys & got some essentials, beer, wine, oh yeh some groceries & water. That's right, you really don't drink the water here. It's a little like Mexico, you can build up a tolerance to it, but for 15 cents a litre why bother. Washed the dirtiest car in Arizona, you really never see dirty cars here like we get on snow travelled roads. It's the opposite of GP. Got a nice stall, #59 if that means anything to you. Neighbours still have Christmas lites up & the central hall is lit, very nice.

  1. Glad to see you made it there safe. Pictures look nice... all decorated. We went dancing for New Years Eve - good times and we got together with some of Richard's sisters and their husbands last night. Was fun as usual. Chelsey got to drive home on icy roads and snow falling - but we made it!!! Our new driver! Marg save some shopping time for when we go cause we are making the plans!

  2. Glad to see you made it safely... I still can't believe you left all that snow, and can go swimming outdoors... it really feels like Christmas is over being home.... its been sunny and blue skys... not the same effect out the window as in Canada... time to take down the Christmas tree.... Happy New Year. x
