Having made the decision to not drive the 500+ miles home yesterday, we took our time leaving the Beatty RV Park, hitting the road about mid morning. I picked a place to stop in Wickenburg, a small town about 50 miles northwest of Phoenix. I've found that one of the best resources for finding RV parks is RV Park Review. Not only does it list most of the RV parks in a city, with map directions, but it also allows folks to make comments, and rate a park on a 1-10 scale. You kind of have to take the comments with a grain of salt, but after reading 3 or 4 comments, you get a better picture than you would from the RV park books.
Driving through Las Vegas is always a lesson in patience, but since it was mid day on a Sunday, traffic wasn't too terribly bad. When we pulled into the Flying J in Kingman, there was one RV fueling, and two waiting to get into the one RV pump. OK, that didn't appear to be a good option, and I don't like to use the truck islands in AZ due to the higher diesel price that trucks pay. Usually, the fuel desk will adjust the RV price down (it's about 8 cents a gallon cheaper for RV's), but on several occasions, that process has been nothing but a big hassle. So, I waited for a couple of vehicles to move from the outside car island, where there was enough room to get fuel, and make the turn to get back out.
We pulled into the Hospitality RV Resort, just south of Wickenburg on Hwy 60, and got a pull through space for the night. Today is our last day of travel, before settling back in at the homestead just outside of Tucson. This trip was our 7th to Alaska, and I'll summarize some of the details in tomorrow's blog.
