Let's see....last time I posted I was in Congress at North Ranch and dealing with another stomach bug (food issue possibly). Since then....
- Met several folks as they came through North Ranch, some new, some I had met before (and some I didn't remember that I had met before...LOL).
- Caravaned with Steve & Sandy (SKPs and fellow Class of 2007 members) to the RV park in Williams, AZ
- Beautiful ride up to Prescott....RV ran well, I babied it as much as possible, utilizing all the tips everyone has passed along to me.
- Almost got on 89A north...NOT a route for an RV. The city of Jerome is an old mining town built into the side of Mingus Mountain.
From AZCentral.com: "A 15-mile stretch of road snakes up the southwestern flank of Mingus Mountain over a 7,000-foot pass and down 2,000 feet to Jerome. Like a roller-coaster track, the highway plunges, bends and dips in twisting switchbacks that challenge your car's suspension and brakes - and your nerve." - After the short detour, we continued north and soon found ourselves at the park. Great folks and nice park.
- Discovered the transmission was still leaking BUT it appears to only leak when I slow to a stop. Will be getting it serviced before leaving the area.
- Met up with several old friends at the rally and started meeting a lot of new ones.
- Spent Thursday sightseeing with the group....Sedona and Montezuma's Castle. Photos later...what a blast! Got a great, for me, shirt that says DESERT DIVA. LOL!
- Many hours spent talking with other RVers....amazing people....wonderful diversity.
- Tonight I skipped the Pot Luck dinner and went visiting at the KOA - what an evening. My friend Mike (aka Melvis) & I managed to find the wrong KOA, get semi-lost inside the right KOA but eventually found our friends. Spent an hour around the campfire, headed back to pick up our train tickets for tomorrow and found out that I won a door prize tonight! Guess I need to skip things more often. NICE jacket with the Escapees HOP logo on it...perfect for a cool day at the Canyon tomorrow.
- What a time of great catered meals, super hosts, terrific door prizes, making new friends & lots of laughs with more to come!
Till next time - keep on rollin',

Glad you're feeling better, Donna. Is there any way you can raise the head of your bed. That made a lot of difference to me as I've been suffering from reflux disease for years!
ReplyDeleteSandra may have a good point there. It is a good thing that your new shirt didn't have two S's in that word!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the canyon- that is still on my "To Do" list and I'd love to ride that train from Williams. Maybe someday.....
