We're California Bound!!! ☺☺☺

Raised up this morning so excited... Our true journey this year is about to start when we roll out of the Saddle Mountain RV Park in Tonopah, Az. I know... you all thought we've already been on a GREAT journey and we have but this is the Mac Daddy of journeys starting for us... Our friends Norm & Chris arrived safely and we are all on our way. This first leg is taking us to Palm Desert, California.

On our way we saw more of the dessert

Law Enforcement in cars with no officers and closed rest areas

We saw Quartzsite (Boondockers & Rvers paradise) & Boondockers in the desert

We finally crossed the state line into CALIFORNIA

Where we went through an Inspection Station and saw wild flowers along the road

We approach Palm Desert & big mountains

Finally we arrived at Palm Desert Thousand Trails... This is probably the nicest Thousand Trails Park I have ever stayed in... We have all the Amenities that a person could want and GREAT phone, Internet & satellite...

PLUS we found two sites next to each other...

I think this is why it is called it Palm Desert here and a Roadrunner right by our site!!!

So we have arrived safely and are ready for FUN!!!

UPDATE: We had tremors from the 7.2 earthquake in Mexicalli, Mexico this afternoon around 3:30 pm. Scared Chris & I to death... Norm was taking a shower and thought we were playing a trick on him... Ralph just took it all in stride... I sure hope we feel no more of them!!!

Until Later... Have FUN, Travel Safe & Enjoy Everyday!

Soooo What Do We Do here in Tonopah, Az ???

We have been here in Tonopah, Az. for 3 days and drove all around the area but nothing great to blog about... There is plenty of desert and mountains that look like maybe they were created by volcanoes or perhaps even volcanoes themselves.

Phoenix is around 45 miles from here and we do intend to go there but just for the day. Maybe Wednesday... We need to go to Sams Club & Walmart and restock on supplies so that will be another day. Then on Friday our friends Norm & Chris will be here... They will have traveled 2300 miles in 13 days to get here.

We will be very happy to see our friends!

There is one eatery about 2 miles from here and another one about 8 miles... all the other places are about 20 plus miles from here as is Wal Mart.

TIN TOP Bar & Grill and it was really good!!!

The sunset here in the desert are just incredible...

Every night it is like God paints the sky for us to enjoy....

Until Later... Have FUN, Travel Safe & Enjoy Everyday!

☺☺☺ We are in Tonopah, Arizona ☺☺☺

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!
