Busy Days and Busy Nights

 I awoke early Thursday morning and quickly got dressed, had a quick breakfast and then Yuma and I headed the three hours plus to Quartzsite.  We were on the road by 9:30.  It's RV tent week over there so it will be crowded.  Probably no Internet till I get back here.

Kay suggested I take the bypass around Phoenix, and I did.  We made good time with only a few slowdowns, but still took an hour and a half to get to the west side of the Phoenix area.  It is a very big city and with all the connecting towns, it is no fun to traverse.

We arrived and found their boondocking home with no trouble.

 

Got there about 1:30. We were all in the area earlier this year, so I knew where to go.  We spent the whole day talking about just about everything.  It was a beautiful afternoon sitting in the sun.

Boondocking at its best!

Here is the group:

Keith

Nancy

Bill and Patsy

Tom and Deb

Ken and Kim

Deb and Riley
That is the core group gang I travel with and run into during the winter in my travels.  This may the last Bloggerfest for me, but hopefully the gang keeps coming back.  The older ones move out and the younger ones move in.  Such is life.
That evening, Yuma and I curled up in the Jeep and slept through the night.  

Friday morning, we joined Tom and Deb for breakfast.  It was already warm outside at 10 a.m. so after breakfast we again sat outside and enjoyed the nice sunshine.  It was nice to finally get a taste of the boondocking life I have been missing so far this winter.  

Living in a backyard just isn't the same.  I am very thankful to Kay to let me store the WL and enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery at her place.

We headed back to Mesa around 1:15 after our goodbyes and it was another four-hour journey.  No problems, just very busy in the Phoenix area.

Today, I was busy with Kay's honey dew list.  She had sold her late husband's car and I followed her to the place to meet the buyer.  I have all the parts and tools I need to get working on the WL tomorrow.  Unfortunately, it will be football play-off day, so it it isn't easy, it may have to wait.  I know I'm slow, but I'll get there soon.  Stay tuned!  Tomorrow just may be the day it starts.  Maybe I'm delaying the letdown when it doesn't start.  Can't do that forever.

Thanks for stopping by.
