Kit and Carol on the Road

Our homeless day in Florence was pretty awful—didn’t get our home back until after dark. We were glad to be on the road the next day but took much of the morning locating a place to go. Lake Pleasant, where we’d plan to stay, was booked except the overflow. The place where Arby and Eleanor live wouldn’t let us in because Alice is “too old”. Luckily we found plenty of spots at Pioneer RV, close to the freeway and close to Carefree. We spent Saturday with Paul and Charlotte—hiking in Cave Creek Rec. Area (which has a wonderful campground on our list for next year) and visiting the Carefree Art Show (All the art was much too expensive for us but great browsing). Sunday we went down to Surprise to visit Arby and Eleanor—and Trader Joe. The park where they live (in a park model mobile home) has an awesome rec. center but the RV parking was nothing special. This morning (Monday) we were up early and almost all day on the road. We arrived at Salton City which is in a new time zone (Pacific) so it’s earlier than we think. It’s also under new ownership and new management. The price has gone up, but we’ll wait and see whether there are any other changes. The spa is still lovely. The wind has been blowing incesantly for the last 24 hours.
