ON THE ROAD AGAIN

TUESDAY MARCH 20, 2012
TUCSON AZ.

HAPPY SPRING!!!

TODAY WAS GET AWAY DAY FROM OUR MOST BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS FOR THE LAST 8 WEEKS : ((
THE PLAN WAS TO BE OFF THE PAD AT 9AM AND HOOKED UP TO THE CAR AND ON THE ROAD BY 10AM.
WE WERE CLOSE TO THAT AND PULLED OUT OF THE MOTORCOACH COUNTRY CLUB AT ABOUT 10:30 = NOT BAD.

WE WERE ABLE TO PURCHASE 90 GALLONS OF DIESEL FUEL AT $4.19 USING A NEW FREQUENT FUELER CARD AT "FLYING J AND PILOT" FUEL STOPS.
WE ARE MEMBERS OF "THE GOOD SAM" MOTORCOACH CLUB AND THRU THEM WE GET A 5 CENT A GALLON DISCOUNT = SWEET.

I WAS CONCERNED THAT WE WOULD BE LATE FOR OUR ARRIVAL AT THE LAZY DAYS RV CAMPGROUND IN TUCSON AZ AS THEY CLOSE AT 7 PM.
WHEN WE CROSSED THE BORDER FROM CALIFORNIA INTO ARIZONA WE SET OUR CLOCKS AHEAD 1 HOUR JUST AS WE DID WHEN WE CAME HERE IN JANUARY. GUESS WHAT ARIZONA DOESN'T DO, DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME SO WE ARRIVED EARLIER THAN EXPECTED AND WERE ABLE TO GET THE COACH SET UP AND MAKE HAPPY HOUR AT THE "FLORIZONA" RESTAURANT AND HAD A GREAT DINNER, PIKE, BAKED POTATO AND A BLUE CHEESE SALAD.

TOMORROW WE WILL VISIT THE CAMPING WORLD STORE TO PICK UP A FEW SUPPLIES.

HOPEFULLY WE WILL NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE BAD WEATHER IN THIS AREA. THERE WAS FROST LAST NIGHT AND EXPECTED HERE TONIGHT, MANY GRAPE FARMERS HAVE LOST A GREAT PORTION OF THEIR CROPS = TOO BAD.
WHILE CHICAGO IS SETTING ALL TIME HIGH TEMPS IN THE 80'S TUCSON IS SETTING RECORDS OF COLD TEMPS.
WE CHOSE TO RETURN HOME VIA THE SOUTH ROUTE AND WHEN I SAW THE SNOW STORM IN FLAGSTAFF I MADE THE BETTER CHOICE EVEN THO IT ADDS A DAY OF TRAVEL.

MORE LATER.
