Today we drove 274 miles to Desert View RV Resort in Needles CA. Once again we were affected by the wind during our drive. Also we reached over 6000 feet in altitude near Flagstaff. It’s a nice campground with the normal hookups and an address of 5300 Route 66 (for those who remember the song, television, or film). There are palm trees lining the property and bushes enclosing each campsite for privacy. In the late afternoon, we drove to the nearby Jack Smith Pa...

Still at Rain Spirit. We woke up early to take a hike that Patti found. It was a beautiful, easy hike up Fay Canyon and we took the dogs. This picture was at the end of the trail but Patti climbed up a little higher for a better view of the canyon. The path was red dust from the surrounding walls. Shannon brought home a surprising amount of it with her. We then drove through Sedona, a unique town with views to the red bluffs in all directions. Patti and I drove i...

The least glamorous part of RV life. We dumped the black and gray tanks before we left this campground. Most of our sites have been full hookups which include electric, water, and dumping. Today we drove 218 miles to our next sites at Rain Spirit RV Campground in Clarkdale AZ, 20 miles from Sedona. It’s a small campground, filled with mostly big rigs (Class A). It has a lot of amenities but lots of rules. The management is nice and helpful. We unhooked both the...

Still in Tucson. We are on Arizona time, 3 hours behind the east coast. This picture was a view from my RV roof at my campsite. Spent the day working on RV small stuff. We also booked a campground near Sedona (after trying about 15 campgrounds on various potential routes) and decided on our general route for the next week or so. We are experiencing that more campgrounds are booked for the weekends and some during the week. Relaxing day. Put the outside windshield...

Our drive today was 298 miles to Gilbert Ray Campground for two days, on the west side of the Tucson Mountains, only 13 miles from Tucson AZ. The drive started out windy, then a little rain, but not too bad. Fuel stations are a daily event and continue to be a challenge getting in and out of them while towing and never being able to back up. At the campground, we unhooked the car and truck to back into our campsites. We only have electric hookups. Water is nearby...
