RV Parks
Time flies when you’re having fun…
Three days without a post! Did you miss me? I am working on a mega-post now to document the last 4 days in Vegas. We did a lot and saw a lot. I have the photos prepped; now I just have to figure out how to tell the story. Might have to be multiple posts. … Continue reading
Williams, AZ
We went up to the Grand Canyon yesterday, reducing our bucket lists by one. It was a beautiful day, a great adventure and an incredible place. But it deserves its own post, which will take a little time to assemble. So I will devote this post entirely to Williams. We chose to stay at the … Continue reading
Sun City, AZ
We didn’t see anything in Tucson because we hated the RV park there and got out as quickly as we could. We also didn’t see much of Phoenix, but for the opposite reason: we loved the park so much that we didn’t want to leave its gentle embrace. I don’t think we will run into … Continue reading
Passport America
We have been having a good time here in Sun City, AZ. The weather has been great. We lounged by the pool on Halloween. Never done that before. I will give a full report tomorrow, but I thought I would say a few words about Passport America. We are using our Passport America membership to … Continue reading
GTW Hop 22: Tucson, AZ, to Sun City, AZ
133 miles via I-10 and US 60. Cumulative distance: 3,759 miles. We opted for a good night’s sleep, vacated the “Whispering” Palms park and hot-footed it up to Sun City. I found that Phoenix is snowbird central: it has numerous mega-parks that cater to long-term occupants. They look more like trailer parks than RV parks. … Continue reading
GTW Hop 21: Las Cruces, NM, to Tucson, AZ
280 miles via I-10. Cumulative distance: 3,626 miles. This was another hop that was easy to navigate: get on I-10 west and keep going until you get there. The only difficulty was that the ramp closest to the RV park was closed (which we were told when making reservations), so we had to get off … Continue reading
Las Cruces, NM
We stayed two nights at La Hacienda RV Resort in Las Cruces. It is very neat and clean and has a lot of amenities. It has a great community room, a hot tub (unusual), a very nice laundry (which we used) and the longest dog park we have seen yet. It is also pricy – … Continue reading
GTW Hop 20: Pecos, TX, to Las Cruces, NM
253 miles via I-20 and I-10. Cumlative distance: 3,346 miles. We stayed one night at the TRAPark in Pecos. This is an Escapees Rainbow Park, but it is a mere shadow of Rainbow’s End. We missed the social hour, which is a shame, but we had a good night’s sleep in the midst of the … Continue reading
GTW Hop 19: San Angelo, TX, to Pecos, TX
218 miles via US 67 and US 285. Cumulative distance: 3,093 miles. I don’t have much to say about San Angelo because we were there for just 20 hours. Because we had difficulty getting the front landing jacks to work, I didn’t unhitch. But I resolved that problem and decided this morning that it would … Continue reading
San Antonio, TX
San Antonio is yet another place where we wish we could have stayed longer. For one thing, I would have liked to have tried the golf course that is adjacent to the RV park. I learned last night that the cost for 9 holes there is just $17 – including cart! It would probably be … Continue reading
