Where are we today ?

      Just another desert day enjoying this wonderful sunny weather and warm temps. Got up to 78f , pretty nice and again our batteries fully charged before noon , without tilting the panel. Gotta love it !
       A few early morning walkabouts checking out some of the 600 campsites. A pretty good deal a lot of people come back every year here and can book a site and decorate as they wish (with approval) From $550 a year dry camping but if you are set up for it like we are not a bad deal at all. Facilities here are pretty good and activities going on all the time if you wish.
       I took some pics during my walkabouts and hope I don't bore you with them. This blog is also our journal.
       Not far up the road from us a mini desert golf course 18 holes, with putters and balls supplied.
grab a club and go
could not talk Suzie into it yet
nice golf course
Why Country club
beautiful Teddy Bear cactus 
nicely decorated sites too 
Laundromat 5 new washing machines
2 new dryers, but clothes lines here to use as well
clothes lines
play area for children 
     Then at the clubhouse they have computers to use FREE, and we do have FREE very good internet at our site as well. All of this for $9.00 a day, $40.00 a week or $130.00 a month.
free to use computers
also hook ups for the internet and power plugs
this is  a map of the campground, 600 sites,
outside road is a 2 mile loop
a free phone yo use as well
dog run new this year
        I have been checking out our coach since yesterday our water pump  is cycling every 3 minutes or so with no drips anywhere. Normally it would be a water leak somewhere. Well I checked every where that I could see a fitting and see the water lines. Not a drop anywhere.  So I  removed the water pump and cleaned it up, did not do it, so I increased the shut off pressure and seemed to fix the problem has not cycled all day now. ( fingers crossed !)  That's a huge relief. And we now have more water pressure when the taps are turned on, bonus !
adjusted the pressure, middle screw and so far so good
       After lunch another walkabout for a couple more miles enjoying the quiet here and great weather, so many nicely set up sites, not really any trashy ones here at all. No generators running everyone has lots of solar.
       Another area they have a nice ramada next to a tennis court and shuffle board court.
tennis or shuffle board
one of many dump stations around
      Now back home we are relaxing in the sun and shade finishing up one book and getting into another. 
this book seems pretty good too another page turner
so peaceful and the views love it
       Around 4:30 I preheat our Weber Q,  whip up our salad that we love. Set 1/4 acorn squash each wrapped in foil with some honey and pepper for about 20 minutes then grilled a couple of boneless chops 5 minutes a side
so tasty and moist tender chops 
then about 6:30 and nice sunset to wind up our day
      Last year we checked out the Ajo  Copper Mine that was closed down years ago, you can check our posting from last year by clicking HERE we don't feel a need to go back again this year.
        Thanks for stopping by for a peek hope your day was as good as ours was.

  4. That is definitely a perfect place to stay in Why/Ajo area. Cannot believe we were right across the road, which was nice but $11 more a night.
    By the way Tom cooked our spaghetti squash on our Weber tonight and it was perfect.
