Good Morning from the cool north in Arizona in Pinetop! I arrived yesterday and this was what happened. My first stop on the drive was at a gas station! $125 in Gas!
I got to the RV Park and I’m in site 553, right behind Madeline and Robbin. Robbin is back home in Chandler and won’t be here until Thursday. But this is the map of the place – look how huge it is!
This was sunrise this morning around 5:15: It was much pinker than it shows but that means I can watch sunset from my chair outside under the awning – which is out right now!
This is my site: I know I put this in the last blog, but decided today to start a new one about this trip.
There is no one to my driver side and the people to my passenger side are not here. I guess they come up for the weekends. That is nice. The people across the street from me have all kinds of flags and lights out at night, but the place is extraordinarily quiet! I slept with my window open at my bed and other windows open all night. It was fantastic! These are my temperatures this morning:
It is humid outside though. But the temperature is glorious! The only sound I hear is the clock ticking (my Route 66 clock) and a big crow or raven – don’t know which. Madeline says there are wild horses that come through the park once in a while. Last year they had trouble with bears, but apparently they fixed that problem (taking out the trash more often) because she hasn’t seen any this year – that is comforting!
Madeline came over to check my water connections so I took a picture of how it should be done. NICE!
Robbin sold her Class C and traded it for a 5th Wheel. It is beautiful. She kept the window covers and gave them to me. THEY FIT!!!!!
I put my other one and the side window ones out by the dumpster. Hopefully someone will rehome them! So today, I’m going to try to inventory some of my drawers and storage areas. I have WAY too much stuff in here if I was to share it with Jack and the kitties. Even for me it is A LOT! I got the 4 drawers under the sink done today along with the 2 drawers under the stove. Next I’ll do the cabinets on the passenger side of the rig. There isn’t much in those cabinets. So I’ll eventually get it all done. I have lots of time to do it. Madeline wanted to go the Tractor Supply for some matts to extend her slab here. I needed Kleenex so I got a ride to the Dollar Store. I’m sitting in DAISEE2 while it is raining really hard – and thunder – poor BOO! Glad I don’t need to contend with an animal in a thunder storm. I connected my sewer hose just before the downpour. It’s pretty cool listening to the rain. I think DAISEE2 is getting a pretty good bath.
I took an updated video of the inside of DAISEE2. Let’s see if it is ready yet;
So the way this place works, Madeline and Robbin have their spots for the summer and they leave their rigs here over the winter and it only costs them $100 a month. I guess they need to winterize them. That would be a deal breaker for me. Anyway, it’s about $650 a month in the summer (4 month minimum) and electric and water is included. She says it is a better deal than the last place they stayed. That place is closed now anyway. I just noticed my outside temperature is not working on my weather station. Not sure if it just got wet or what. We’ll see what happens as the day goes on. I sure am glad that I’m at my site and not driving up here today rather than yesterday.
