Wed. Nov. 24th Casa Grande Arizona

Join us as we travel North America in our Holiday Rambler Vacationer, 

 since August 2006

      The morning here is nice, sun shining on Picacho Peak. And we are relaxing with our morning coffees.

the entrance in the morning

      About 10:00am we said good bye to many friends here and hit the road, 10 miles west to fuel up at the Flying J in Eloy. Love the price of fuel $2.48 gal (.65 cents a litre). In front of us at the pumps was a Euro Liner Coach from Europe complete with the European license plate.

      From here down the road another 10 miles to to have a tire checked out on our coach. An inside dual on the drivers side had lost about half of its air while parked at St. David for two weeks. I pumped it up, but it appears to be a slowly leaking. So we found Purcell Tire and Rubber Company a Michelin truck tire dealer on 15112 Jimmie Kerr in Casa Grande to have it checked out. After removing both wheels and testing it we found that the tire valve just needed to be tightened. So after about an hour or so we were back on the road, safe and sound and NO CHARGE. Good customer service.

      Another 5 mile drive thru Casa Grande we arrived at the Western Horizon Resort and checked in, set up and made lunch. While finishing lunch and knock on the door asking us to come to the office, (a problem with our reservation). Well that we did and found out that we needed a week out of this system to come in here, (perfectly within the rules but we missed it oopps). So we paid the regular daily rate to stay tonight ($40.00) and will hit the road in the morning to Quartzsite Arizona, our next destination anyway. With this straightened out I went shopping for a few supplies. Well what a zoo everywhere. Traffic people travellling and the stores packed with last minute shoppers. The day before Thanksgiving. They were sold out of Turkeys and Hams with huge empty coolers. But I got what I needed and back home to relax a bit then make supper. I picked up some pork back ribs and being a little late in the day to slow cook them, I did 20 minutes in the pressure cooker, and another 20 mintues in the oven with a tasty BBQ sauce then we had tastiest fall-off-the-bone ribs I have ever made, complete with sauerkraut, potatoes and broccoli w/cheese.

so tasty

      With this accomplished, we can now read a bit and relax with some tv.
