Outings, shopping and a lazy afternoon......

Our Location:  Quail Ridge Rv Park, Hauchua City, Arizona


A nice night, a bit cool but still nice. The sun shine warmed everything up quickly. I was out the door before 8:30 AM heading into Sierra Vista to the Chevy Dealership. A quick visit snagged me an appointment tomorrow morning at 8:30 AM. No loaners, only rentals or a shuttle.  So tomorrow I’ll see what their inspection finds before I make any decisions. I then wandered along the road to the Fry’s grocery store to pick up a few things.  From there I was homeward bound. 

 

Lawn ornaments here in the park.

 

At home I realized I’d forgotten to stop at the ATM machine but Riley and I were heading off to an RV dealer to look for a tire cover so after our stop there we headed back to Sierra Vista. We revisited Fry’s, stopped at Target and then of course a quick drop into the Walmart.   From there we headed home again. Did you realize we forgot about the ATM again? I’ll have to do it tomorrow. 

 

Some lawn ornaments, and the two bottom corner pictures are real cacti, the other two are metal.

 

I was going to sit outside and read but I could hardly keep my eyes open and I didn’t want to fall asleep outside in the sun. I’ve been exhausted all day and so I basically stayed tucked in my chair dozing and waking up for the afternoon. Around 5 PM I headed out for a walk around the park stopping at the dumpster which was one of the reasons I managed to get my butt out of the door. A nice walk, not long but enough for today. 

 

A fairly strong wind today.

 

So there you have it, a bit of an outing but nothing exciting. I hope you all had a fantastic day.  Thanks for stopping by.

 

The second clubhouse.

 

Until next time…. take care, be safe,

We have arrived in Arizona to some nice warm weather ......

Our Location:  Quail Ridge Rv Park, Hauchua City, Arizona

Lordsburg was too noisy for me, and I didn’t sleep well at all. It’s not a place I would stay again unless pressed to do so. I would however next time try the Rest Area at Gage, NM as it would be easier to get away from the big rigs that run all night. The rest area filled up with at least 3 big rigs, and 4 or 5 RV/Campers. 

 

Some of the mountains we viewed today.

 

A cool night that hovered around the freezing mark but the sun warmed everything up quickly. We were up and ready to go after a bit of a leg stretch before 8:30 AM. We didn’t want to rush as we didn’t have far to go today. Only a couple of hours drive. A stop at a rest area on I-10 on the Arizona side of the state line was our only stop today. We motored right along with no issues once again.

 

Trees turning colour, a helicopter in the sky and the western scene on the over pass near Willcox, AZ.

 

We reached Quail Ridge RV Resort on North Yucca Drive in Hauchua City just before noon. Upon checking in we were happy to find they had a spot for us as they are pretty much full now. We were sent to spot #137 which ironically was exactly the same spot we had last year. However the folks in the spot were not planning on leaving any time soon and so another trip to the office had us finding a different spot. Some discussions back and forth with the office lady and we settled on spot #28 on the front east side. Big spot, easily backed into but we were later told we could have just pulled through from the back. The lady in the office told us it was a back in and so we did. Anyway, not  a big deal we met our neighbour to the west of us, he's a  retired Marine from Texas. Interesting fellow for sure.

 

Some of the many road signs we noted on our drive.

 

Called dad, left a message and then just spent the rest of the day doing not much. I’m finding the lack of sleep last night and the couple hours drive today kind of wore me out and I think I’ll sleep much better tonight.

 

Very scenic rest area in Arizona on I-10 West.

 

Warm enough to have the windows open and the big door as well for a while. I’m looking forward to sitting outside reading over the next number of days. Riley even had on short pants today. A sign that we have arrived in the land of warmth!!!!!

 

A few more views of the drive today.

 

So there you have it, nothing exciting but a positive day all the day same. Some great views on our drive today. Some plans for a day or two of day trips while we’re here but nothing too much. I do hope you enjoyed your stop here at A long and lonesome highway and that no matter where you are that you too had a good day!!! 

It took me a while to figure out what is odd about the truck. It's a big hipped truck with the outside wheels missing so they could get it on the trailer.

 

Until next time….take care, be safe,
