Our Location today is La Posa South LTVA,
Quartzsite, Arizona, U.S.A.
Yesterday when we stopped
at Silly Al’s for pizza we both asked for diet Pepsi
because they didn’t have anything that was Caffeine-Free.
After having been busy doing the laundry earlier we both had finished our first
glass of pop before our pizza arrived so the waitress brought us a small
pitcher for refills. That may not be a problem for many people but we both
spent most of the night tossing and turning because of the Caffeine.
Waking up after 8:00 MST on a day you plan on moving is not
a good thing as there was still plenty of things that needed to be done both
inside and outside. It didn’t help that the 45 F (7 C) outside
temperature was reinforced by Twelve
to Nineteen MPH Northeast Winds. It was
close 10:00 by the time we rolled out of Dome Rock BLM for
the last time this season.

There was very little
traffic even when we drove down Tyson Wells Road before
heading south on Highway 95. Within five minutes we were inside the Office signing in for another two-week
stay at La
Posa South LTVA. It was a different Camp Host from all our previous stays. By 10:30 we were on the road
heading in towards what I was sure would be a long line up at the Dump-Station.
Imagine my surprise when we were able to drive right up to a station without
even waiting. As we got things draining I looked behind to see the line-up
slowly starting to grow. Talk about
timing!
That's enough power to run a house. |
As soon as we’d topped off
our Fresh-Water Tank we started
making our way back to where we’ve stayed in the past. Since the rest of our Canadian RVing Friends are scattered all over the southwest at this point we
moved a little closer towards our old neighbour from our first stay here.

We had just gotten leveled
and the slides spread out when Wayne came walking over. He thought that we’d
have been half-way home by now but he was happy to see us. He stuck around and talked
to me even while I was on the roof tilting our Solar Panels. He and his wife will be heading back to Washington
before the end of March because she is still working for a few more years.

After Kathy had set up her kitchen she’d been busy cooking up
lunch and even though she called me in I could smell it from the roof. She
adjusted the left-over Spanish Rice
then made a Scrambled Ham Omelette to go with
it. Unfortunately, there weren’t any left-overs for another meal.
While Kathy cleaned up the
kitchen and did the dishes I set up our Computers
as well as our CPAP Machines in the
bedroom. Before going back to the computers I called the Booking Office for the upcoming Escapade in Tucson so we could arrive
another day earlier. We’ll be keeping a close eye on the weather before we head
in that direction because if we don’t have to use our Generator we can stay in the Solar
Power area and not have to listen to the Truck Stop Noise of Generators
running like we did at the Good Sam Rally last
weekend.
We were busy checking a few
other things on the Computers including
some of the Blogs that we hadn’t
read this morning before towing our Home 9.5
Miles to its present location.
It was close to 2:30 when
we headed out the door to go for a ride. We had hoped to have a short visit
with fellow RV Bloggers who were
staying out on Plomosa
Road. We both kept our eyes pealed to see if we could see them.
Since we had never traveled the length of Plomosa Road we
kept looking while enjoying the scenery. With all the rain this area has gotten
this winter we saw more green desert then we expected.
Military Exercise. |
When we reached Bouse after
a quick look around the small community we headed back across Plomosa Road in the opposite direction towards Quartzsite.
With the sun glaring off our windshield our hopes of seeing their location from
a different view were soon dashed. We were surprised to see a couple of Military Transport Planes flying below
the Mountain Tops surrounding the area.
There were probably training for Low
Altitude Flying.
Back Home in La Posa South while Kathy got things ready I set up our Weber Q as we both wanted something
simple to eat and Hot Dogs fit the
bill.
Even though we have neighbours
within two-hundred feet of our location they are on the other side of the wash
that gives us our privacy. We’ll use the time here to visit who we can as well
as getting ourselves reorganized. Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe
and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
