A four day stay at a KOA campgrounds in Apache Junction, Arizona is coming to an end. Originally we only planned to stay for two days to get some rest. But after trying to find someplace else to camp and stay for a month we had to extend our stay. Being new to this whole full time RV living we learned that you can’t always fly by the seat of your pants and have no plans. When heading south reservations are needed just as the brochures state. Thank goodness we have what is needed to do drydock camping as well. After searching and calling we found a hopefully, nice place in Yuma, Arizona. From the sounds of it, it is quite the resort with some fine amenities. We shall see. 

Tomorrow morning we will break camp and head out on a 200 mile trek  to Yuma, Arizona. We have had good weather here and hope that it will be just as nice in Yuma. Sitting outside in 86º weather is not something we did in Minnesota. The drier air makes the temperature much easier to tolerate.

Last night we pulled the awning down and today we enjoyed sitting in it’s shade. But after looking at it most of the day, Mark decided to wash it before rolling it back up. Even with limited supplies the awning looks a lot better. Of course it took some time to get it rolled up right since it has not been used by us much at all. We kind of forgot how to get the job done. hehe The weather we had before leaving on our southern trip was not the best so we only used it once. The wind would have ripped the awning apart most of the Minnesota summer we had this year.

This time our home will be parked for a month. If we like what we see when we get to the campgrounds it could be our landing for two to three months. That would mean we could have our mail forwarded to us. As we leave I’ll wave good-bye to Suspicion Mountain or as I have called it, My Mountain.
