Sunday morning we left The Rovers Roost, an Escapee RV park in Casa Grande, Arizona. They offered the first night free in their boondock section. Remember our first night at Dome Rock in Quartzite, Arizona was on BLM (Burea of Land Management - government owned land.)- and was free? And now as members of the RV club, Escapees, we spent our second night at no cost. For the first two days of this trip we have spent nothing on camping. Of course we are not hooked up to electric or water , but that is the beauty of being self-contained. I carry my own water and a generator that powers the microwave, the furnace for chilly nights and, oh yes, and the lights.
About half way to our destination , the Elks Club in Sierra Vista, Arizona, we pulled off next to a gas station. We were both needing to stretch our legs and my friend Vicki's dog ,Tika, needed to answer nature's call. I enjoy traveling with Vicki and Tika because they go for lots of walks. A gravel road led off into the scenic dessert where the cacti were a magnificent surprise.
We arrived at the Elk Lodge in Sierra Vista. I paid for two nights at $13.00 a night which included electric, water, pool tables and a full bar if one is so inclined. Vicki had time to make on appointment to have her turn signal fixed.
On Monday we took care of errands and by afternoon squeezed in a visit to Fort Hauchuca. It is an operating Army training base and had a wonderful museum.
This area was Cochise country and the statue in front of the museum depicted the Army's relationship with Geronimo.

| It is titled, "The Eyes of The Army." Today we spend the day in Bisbee, a little town near the border that was born and nurtured by one of the largest copper mines. It is now home to many artists and writers. I can't wait to visit the bookstore. Monday was a great day because FINALLY my book, GOING HOME WITH A CAT AND A GHOST became live on Kindle. Check it out in Amazon's lending library for free. And already the sales are pushing me up in the ranks. Help make the book reach #1. Buy it for a Christmas or birthday gift. Buy both books and have a delightful gift for under twenty dollars. |

I finally have you saved on my blog reading file. Our paths are always going the opposite direction. We were at Rovers Roost for 5 days. We also enjoyed Bisbee. Did you see the old RV motel, the Shady Dell - very charming.
ReplyDeleteI will be ordering your book shortly, I've been waiting for that to come out!
