Saddleback Mountain

 It was a busy day again.  I hope every move I make is not as hard as this one has been.  First thing I did this morning, was to put the remaining things into the Jeep.  I'm using it for storage this time around.

Then I spent an hour picking up poop the three dogs drop around the yard.  It is now all clean.

I spent a little time with the ladies and then drove to Walmart to get groceries to last me a couple of weeks, I hope.

It was 3 o'clock when I left for my 90-mile drive to Tonopah, Arizona where Saddleback Mountain is located. 

The normal route I take to get out of town is hwy 60, but it was closed this weekend for maintenance, so I was routed all the way through the city on E Southern Avenue to highway 101.

Actually, the drive on the city street was faster than hwy 101.  Even on a Saturday, the Phoenix area is full of traffic.  I was going at 15 mph at times and all four lanes were full.

It took 2 1/2 hours to drive the 90 miles to my new camp for the next however many days I stay.

I have stayed here several times in the past, and I was glad to see this site was empty and no one else is around.  I am looking for some solitude after being in a big city for 7 weeks.  A lot has happened already, and I'm ready for new boondocking adventures.

The internet is excellent, so I am having no problems with posting to my blog while here.  My new RV ran flawlessly.  This was my first real test and I'm happy with my purchase.

It's been a busy day, and I am tired.  Thanks for stopping by.  Be sure to stop in again to see some of the beautiful views this area has to offer.
