 15 Oct     Las Vegas RV Resort, NV - Wickenburg, AZ     234 miles     4 hours 45 mins

We're on our way to Casa Grande for a Tiffin Rally but we spent a night at a Harvest Host location. It's dry camping in the parking lot at Wickenburg Country Club. It's pretty nice. We had lunch at the restaurant and it was very, very good.

We wanted to hit some balls at the driving range but it was closed. Looks like they're rebuilding part of it. It's going to be pretty nice when its done. It was very quiet at night. We would stay here again if we're passing through. 

16 Oct     Wickenburg - Casa Grande, AZ     114 miles     5 hours 50 mins

We made a stop at Phoenix Premium Outlets to do some shopping before checking in at Palm Creek RV Resort in Casa Grande. We'll be here for 8 nights, mainly for the Tiffin Rally. This is our first Tiffin Rally so looking forward to learning a lot and enjoying socializing with other Tiffin owners.

We met up with some old friends. Mark and Julia who lives in Tennessee drove all the way to Casa Grande to attend the rally. They own a Tiffin similar to ours. Winky and Leslie who lives in Las Vegas drove over and will spend a few days with us. Goody and Donna retired and moved to Phoenix. They rented a cabin on property and will spend the week with us. 

So nice to see everyone. These four guys worked together over 30 years ago! We spent every evening eating, drinking, and talking story. We had lots of local food to eat every night....so ono.

Saying goodbye to Mark & Julia

The rally was good. They had some seminars that Joe and Mark took advantage of. There was entertainment every night but we missed most of it because we were busy visiting and eating with our friends. 

The next Tiffin Rally will be in Wyoming next June, we're planning on going to that one too. 

Palm Creek RV Resort is real nice. It's a 55+ park with so much to do. They have 4 pools with hot tubs, 32 pickleball courts, a nice fitness center, par 3 nine hole golf course, and lots of activities going on. 

We met up with our friends that we met in Pahrump earlier on this trip. Dani and Robert live at Palm Creek and just love it. The monthly maintenance fee is pretty high but when you live in a resort like this, you're paying for a lifestyle. I think it's worth it.

24 Oct     Casa Grande, AZ - Laughlin, NV    293 miles     6 hours 40 mins

We parked at the Riverside Casino in Laughlin, Nevada for 3 nights. We've been here before and we like it. Dry camping in the parking lot and the TV catches a lot of channels with the antenna. 

Our spot in the parking lot

We did a lot of walking at the Colorado River Heritage Greenway Park and Trails. Very nice walking trail alongside the river all the way to Davis Dam. We had a very nice time here boondocking in the parking lot. Next time we'll stay here longer. 

27 Oct     Laughlin, NV - Bullhead City, AZ     11 miles     25 mins

We drove over to Bullhead City, Arizona which is right across the river from Laughlin. We stayed at Vista Del Sol for 3 nights, kind of expensive, $182 total. We've stayed here before and we really liked it. They got pickleball courts, 2 nice pools, and a very nice fitness center. 

When we got here on Wednesday afternoon it was very windy so we didn't go to the pool. Thursday was very, very windy so again, we didn't do anything. What a waste of money! We should have stayed in the casino parking lot for free. 

On Friday morning Joe wanted to check out a truck that was listed at Swantys car dealership in Bullhead City. We found the truck he saw online but it wasn't what we wanted. We've been looking for another tow car for a while now. The salesman showed us another truck that had the towing package already installed. The truck was filthy! Not ready to be shown but he showed it to us anyway. We could see under all the filth that the truck was pretty much what we were looking for. Besides the tow equipment it had running boards and a nice hardcover that locked. 

We went to lunch at Meoni's Italian Kitchen to think about it. I'm so glad we went there, the food was excellent! Later that afternoon, we ended up going back to Swanty's to work out a deal. Needless to say, we have a new vehicle to tow behind our RV. A 2020 Dodge Ram which we just love. 

30 Oct     Bullhead City, AZ - Las Vegas, NV     102 miles     1 hour 40 mins

We picked up the truck this morning and I must say, it cleaned up pretty nicely. It doesn't have the complete towing installed so I had to drive it and follow Joe back to Las Vegas. So I guess on our next trip that will be a priority. We spent 3 night at Las Vegas RV Resort. 

02 Nov   Las Vegas RV Resort - Henderson     5 miles

We put the truck and RV in storage this morning. We're ending another awesome 7 week trip and travelled almost 1,800 miles in the RV. We're always missing the kids so we're anxious to go home to see them. We'll spend 1 night at the Park MGM and fly out tomorrow morning.
