Tuesday morning we left our nice spot at Organ Pipe Cactus National Park and headed north. We arrived in Gila Bend right before the wind picked up and boy was it windy the rest of the day.
We are at Holts Shell RV Park – great little place to take a break and the laundry is great. Today I spent some time going thru the motorhome: reorganizing and de-cluttering. It is amazing how we end up collecting things and every so often I need to go thru a purge – and today was a good day for it – :-))))
We did stop by the local Elks Lodge after supper and met some really nice local folks. Great time!
Stats for Tuesday:
Miles Traveled: 80 Miles
Routes Traveled:
Arizona: SR-85; I-10; Butterfield Trail
On Wednesday, we woke to sunny skies and just a little wind. After the laundry, Andy and I decided to check out some Days End places. Days End places are those that are $15.00 or less (and many are free). In our travels, we have used them quite a bit and I really appreciate having the list. (Guy, if you are reading this – thank you!). One of the places we checked on was the Buckeye Falls Regional Park. A really neat place but we ended up getting lost in the park – LOL!!!! Overall it was neat to see some of the different places (some still there, some not!)
Thursday: This morning we left Gila Bend and traveled to the SKP Park near Congress – North Ranch. How about this – green grass in the desert:
John and Sharon are here (we last saw them at Imperial Dam) and we spent some time this afternoon getting caught up. But Steve was just leaving (we last saw him in Casa Grande) – we hope to see him again next week.
We did a quick run into town to pick up our mail – THANK YOU TINA!!
We will be here until Easter. We want to do some things around the motorhome, hopefully do some sightseeing and on 3/28, Bead Week starts – YEA!!!
Stats for Thursday:
Miles Traveled: 115 miles
Routes Traveled:
Arizona: Butterfield Trail, SR-85; I-10; Sun Valley Parkway; SR-303; SR-60; SR-93; SR-89
So how did our little Dusty do with the travels? Well, he hid – but at least he didn’t panic!!
Stay tuned – :-)) and have a great day.

I also like the idea of purging the contents from time to time. Why carry the excess weight for stuff you don't need, right? Your travel day of 80 miles is about right in our eyes. Go slow and smell the roses along the way.

Hi Karen and Steve,
It is amazing the little items that you pick up and withing 3 months you realize that those little items have added up.... We will be home this summer and there is a number of items we are leaving there (or putting in the big yard sale...).
As far as the 80 miles, we usually do not like to do more than 200 (although there have been times we did a lot more out of necessity - LOL!). In the past few months, we have only done a total of about 500 miles - just what I like...
Hopefully some day we will meet - love your blog!
