We were awake early this morning (Friday) and waiting for the sunrise to start on our trip to Wellton, AZ where we know one other couple who have suggested coming to southern Arizona for a month. We met them in Duck Creek RV Park.
We were hooked up and ready to pull out at 7am. We will lose an hour going to AZ because they don't participate in Daylight Savings Time.
The Honda (tail) in tow. We pull it with 4 wheels down. We have installed a Brake Buddy to help with quick stops and so there are several things to hook up and plug in.
Mom had warned us about the bright early morning sun as we headed east.
We also had a morning Moon as we pulled away.
It was a long and sometimes winding and very dippy road out of NV into CA and then into AZ. I don't think CA does much to keep up route 95 that just cuts through the corner of the state.
We came into AZ
Crossed over the Colorado River
This was about a 300 mile trip today. Quartzsite is a place we have been hearing about. RVers come from all over to attend events that are put on in town. They park all over the desert. There were hundreds of RVes as we passed through.
Wall to wall campers and there are lots more on the way.
Dry Camped (no hook ups) in the desert. I was glad we got to see it and also thankful that we weren't stopping there. The traffic was a bit slow going through town, but otherwise it was a steady driving day and we made it in good time... just over 5 hours.
We were greeted by friendly people. Tierdrop got it's name from the "tiers" of ground that the park is built on. I'll take more picture of the park in the future. The ground is level and the couple that we know have been here for a month and they gave us a tour around the park, introduced us to several people and took us to a free hot dog dinner at the club house. We also met a couple next to us, retired Air Force, a bit older than we are and have come here from their ranch in Montana for 20 years. Jim and Willie are very nice, too.
We may not need to put our awning out because we are turned in a way that we are shaded. We'll have to see how the sun is in the morning. We may sleep in a bit later tomorrow because of the time change..... we'll see.
I missed seeing Mom today, but otherwise it was a good day of travel and we arrived to an 80 degree day.
The Whale has left Las Vegas.
