Met some Rv bloggers today and ended up in Congress Arizona with the Bayfield Bunch.

Where are we today ?
     Today we hitting the road again. Walkabouts for a while and when Suzie ready we can hit the road. 
        So 7:50 am slide in jacks up and away we go. 10 Miles down the road stopped at the Flying J to top up our gas tank. Sure is nice to get 1/2 tank of fuel for under $60.00.
       Then we have a stop in Casa Grande to finally meet fellow Rv'er's and Bloggers  Jan and Bill their blog is HERE . We missed them twice last year so we had to stop by and finally meet them.  We were on the road and they had an Escapee luncheon to go but we did stop by. Enjoyed a coffee, lemon coffee cake and a very nice visit, short but better than no visit. Thanks for your hospitality Jan and Bill. So nice to finally meet them after following each other for a quite a while almost like we know them but have never met. What a super couple to. 
          But they wanted to do things and we did not want to change their plans plus,
Hey that's me, Suzie, Jan and Bill
         We heading up to Congress Az to meet up with another Rv Blogger that many of you know and we have met a few times overs the years. The Bayfield Bunch their blog is HERE .      
         Now as planned we got to Congress about 1 pm and pulled into Al and Kelly's. Wow what an amazing place they have, have seen many pictures but to see it in person is amazing! They have done so much work here and looks like a showplace! Just the kinda place the we would enjoy if it was ours. No wonder they can't decide weather to sell it or not.
heading in Ghost town Road
so wonderful
         Drove in with the car and Al and Pheebs tooks us back for the coach. Pheebs the ever faithful navigator did a wonderful job. 
Pheebs and Al
Tummy rub please

         Lotsa time to set up on a beautiful warm afternoon temps in the 70's perfect. But 2 problems hmmm. Fuse for leveling jacks blown again and it broke in the holder. Fiddled with that for a bit and working now.
what a beautiful place they have

           Go to set up our satellite dish and the tripod came apart, hmm, ok fixed that and dish all setup finally. Was gonna read for a bit was getting later now so set up our Weber Q, chatted with Al and Kelly for a bit then whipped up a salad and pan fried a couple Tilapia fillets.
nice sunset as I was cooking the fish 
yep did the trick
Only 163 miles today
          What a wonderful day we had finally met Jan and Bill, and get together with Al and Kelly. It's been a couple years, yet we are so close when in Ontario.  Just had to explore this area and check out their dream house here in the southwest, just in case they sell it before we get here. Plus they are a wonderful couple too and then there is Pheebs, wow what a special lady she is. Plan on being here for 3 nights, don't want to overstay our welcome. Oh by the way Jean and Skip, you guessed it right. Hope to see you guys and Denise somewhere in the desert this winter too.
         Thanks for visiting again and hope you had a wonderful day too.

We would like to meet them next summer and plan on trying to arrange that. You are certainly having a good time, which is certainly what this life style is all about. Take care and be safe.
