Day 4 - Wrap Up

OK, all is well that ends well.

The drive from Glen Jones Ford in Casa Grande, AZ, to Quartzsite, AZ, is complete and all survived. We are $400 lighter but have a fixed tow vehicle, a renewed charging system and a fresh HD battery. Yes, I could have obtained one less expensively at Wal*Mart but time was of the essence.

It was growing dark quickly as we took exit 19 into the town. We decided to pull in to the 88 Shades RV Park on the main drag so we could (a) take showers, (b) wash 4 loads of laundry, (c) fill up fresh water and (d) empty the dump tanks. To celebrate our arrival, we found a Mexican restaurant on a side street and had dinner. It was a cash only but loads of food kinda place. It was packed when we arrived but thinned out over the course of the hour we were there. I hate to say it but even at our advanced old ages, we were at least 20 years younger than anyone else in that place and more than 20 years for some. This is not a young persons town.

So, we are fed, watered, washed, and about to bed down for the night. It is forecast to be windy and cooler tomorrow so we may stay at 88 Shades RV another day and explore the town before finding our place in the desert. We saw many RV'S from the road on the way into town but we know this is nothing compared to the 150,000 that will arrive in January.
