Mar 06     Lost Dutchman State Park - Mesa Spirit RV Resort      32 miles     1 hr

We are trying a 55+ RV resort for the first time. I called a few different places but a lot of them were sold out. The reason is baseball spring training and the snowbirds are still in town. Very expensive here, $198.00 for 3 nights. When we got to our site, we were very disappointed. We felt very closed in and claustrophobic.

Squeezed in

After we set up, we had lunch at Arby's then to Lee Lee's International Market for some food shopping. This place got all kinds of stuff. We spent an hour here just looking around. I finally found soba, bought some nori and more miso.

Lee Lee International Supermarket

In the late afternoon, we went to the pool. Very nice pool and hot tub, nice way to end the day.

Mar 07    FMCA Rally

We went to the FMCA Rally at the Rawhide Western Event Center in Chandler. Joe met a vendor at the last rally we went to in Phoenix who sells LED lights. The lights were 50% off, $11.00 per light, and we needed 20. So we found the vendor and bought what we needed. When we got home, Joe changed the lights and what a difference! It was worth it, besides, these lights are supposed to last something like 20 years.

Mar 08   San Francisco Giants vs Puerto Rico International Team

We made some spam musubis this morning and met Greg at the Scottsdale Stadium for the Giants vs Puerto Rico game. Spring training in this area is a big thing. Plenty people come out for these games. Tickets were $15.00 for lawn seats. This stadium is pretty good, they let us bring in our own food and drinks. Greg saved us a spot on the lawn under a tree with nice shade but as the game went on, the shade moved and it got real hot. Very good game, Giants won 6-5.

Nice field

We went walking around Old Town Scottsdale after the game, killing some time for traffic to die down. On the way home we had dinner at Whataburger. Pretty good.

When we got home, we hit the pool. Was about 630pm and just a couple of us enjoying the pool and hot tub. Around 800pm, people just started coming. I thought these old futs would be sleeping by then but it got pretty crowded. Still was a nice way to end the day.
