We started on the road around 10:00am... we were not in a big rush because we did not have far to go today. Maybe around 150 miles which is the way we really like to roll... As we headed down I-17 towards Phoenix we passed rolling hills, desert and lots of Saguaro Cactus. Being Saturday the traffic in Phoenix was a little heavy but if you stayed in the center lane it wasn't too bad. Big back ups at the exits... Guess everyone was trying to get their chores and fun done...
We finally arrived at Saddle Mountain RV Park in Tonopah, Arizona... It is a typical Arizona park with palm trees, Sagauro Cactus and gravel sites... No grass! But we are getting use to that... and so is Tiffy! It is well kept and a very maintained park... We have satellite TV but my AT&T internet card does not work here. They have a WiFi service that has a small charge but it is very fast... Both AT&T and Verizon phones work ok... If you have Passport America it is only $17.00 a night with 50 amp... & if you only need 30 amp it is $14. GREAT deal!!!!
Plus they have a great pool and activities center...
There are a few things we want to do in this area... one being to go into
Phoenix and visit the Capitol Building. Also go to Sams Club and
stock up on meats, frozen stuff and supplies...
Other then that we are not to sure of what there is to do here in this area.
At the end of the day we had a nice little sunset right over Saddle Mountain
Until Later... Have FUN, Travel Safe & Enjoy Everyday!
Looks like a great RV park. Those saguaro cactus are fantastic and I never get tired of looking at them. Your photos of the desert are wonderful, Donna.
ReplyDeleteSorry we cannot meet up with you and Ralph, but we will most likely cross paths at a future date.
Enjoy your week ahead.
Hi Donna! It's been a long time! I see you are (ON THE ROAD AGAIN)! Such beautiful pictures and it seems like a very nice place with lots to do. Well have fun and it was fun seeing what you're up to. Deb
ReplyDeleteOkay, today I envy you! Happy Palm Sunday!
ReplyDeleteWe use to spend a lot of time in AZ. It always took me a few days to get use to the dry weather. I love the pictures of the cactus.

You RV park looks like a really nice one...very clean. I never thought about the lack of grass and how confusing that might be to our little pets. Hope Tiffy has adjusted well.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics!! You all have a fun time in the area.

Donna, this morning Madison showed me some artwork she had done at school. One is a large desert scene with a saguaro cactus. I immediately told her about your recent adventures and she insisted on taking a picture of her painting for you. I'll be emailing it to you later, compliments of Madison!
