We got up early this morning to prepare to move on south.
Our last walk around the campground showed that most of our fellow campers had
already left. Only a few sites were still occupied, and we saw one rig heading
out while we were walking.
We had to stop at the dump station on our way out, since we
didn’t have a sewer connection at our site. The dump station entry was quite
narrow and lined with tall trees, so it was kind of like threading the needle
to get in.
As we drove south on I-17, we realized that although there
were ups and downs, there were definitely more downs. As the altitude dropped,
the temperature rose. The high today in Phoenix
was 107. Wow! I will have to stay in the air conditioning except for early
morning and late evening. Even with a hat on and drinking lots of ice water, I
ended up with a headache.
Speaking of air conditioning, we have two a/c units, and it
takes both of them running full blast to keep our indoor temperature around 90
when it’s over 100 outside. That’s quite a draw on 50 amp service, and when I
turned on the microwave, we blew a fuse.
Never a dull moment. Now the microwave has warning post-its to turn off the a/c before turning on the microwave....
