Moving On



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....
