A new first! Ann drove the motorhome from one rest stop to the next, a whole 34 miles. The perspective is very different in the passenger sear as the mirrors are obviously set up for the driver, so my passenger, Ron seemed to be a bit nervous. I was fine, it's just bigger than the car.
You have to watch when big 18 wheelers pass you, as they tend to suck you in, then push you our with the wind as they go by.
We overnighted at Campground B on the main drag in Quartzsite. What a difference in March. This place is wall to wall Vendors and RVs, in January, for the Powwow, the annual event billed as the largest Rock and Gem Show in the world. Now its getting deserted and we were told that many Vendors are moving to places like Yuma where the big Swap Meets go year round. Apparently it hit it's heyday back in the 70's and the last 5 years are showing a downhill trend.
When we started off Sat morning, Ron sat in the passenger seat so Ann drove onto the main street, onto the freeway, actually went up and down a few little hills and curves and into the Flying J Truck compound to fuel up in Ehrenberg. Starting to feel like a real driver now.
Off to Lil Sisters Truck Wash on the way to our home park. Did the rig ever need it after our 59 day trip with monsoons and all. Arrived at Catalina and it was so full we had to park out back in the last row. Glad to be back and will sit be the pool and soak up the sun and relax. I took this picture after I did my lengths one morning but by 11 a.m. its standing room only - the pool is packed, especially while we're having this 95 degree weather.
