3. Las Cruces NM

Spent the night at Walmart in Tucson, drove a couple minutes to PF, exercise and shower. Can’t beat it. We would have left sooner, but again a Board issue got in the way. Off we were at 11am. 

Not much traffic or road construction but many signs noting strong winds. Not today!

Fill-up in Tombstone, 30 minutes running the generator and finally arrived at Olive Garden in Las Cruces. Popped over to Dick’s for Cindy’s new tennis shoes, then to PF at 1100 Telshor for the night. This is a 24-hour center. 

$81.77 Texaco Tombstone ($4.19 gal / 19.4 gal)

$36.76 Olive Garden (includes tip)

$108.30 Nikes for Cindy 

$226.83

Since start  $468.95

2. Tucson

We had a quiet night at the Yuma Foothills Planet Fitness. The showers this morning were great. We were underway at 10am, heading East. 

Despite deciding we would go the no treats route this trip, Bob announced “Dateland next exit.” We had to stop! Last time they had no muffins or cookies but did today. We bought 4 date scones, 2 strawberry-date scones and date nut bread. Scones were very good. 

We checked out several PF, Oro Valley (massive development happening) that was okay. We decided to check out those in Tucson. One didn’t exist, one was too isolated and the other here at 1125 E Tucson Marketplace ended up being okay. However, all these PF close at 11pm, had no overnight parking signs, and we’d end up being the only ones in their parking lot. Walmart to the rescue, just walking distance away. 

A check with a fellow RVer who said they Wallydocked last night confirmed our stay tonight. In the meantime, off we popped over to Lin’s Grand Buffet for an Asian lunch — it’s a couple bucks cheaper and ends at 4pm. We had 7 minutes to spare! And we also got a senior discount!

Back to Walmart, wandered a bit to stretch our legs and enjoy the AC. At 6pm it was still in the 80s. The parking lot is noisy with all kinds of coming and going. The store closes at 11pm, and it’s since quieted down. 

Had a 76 minute phone conversation with Mary about the FH Annex remodel. Not a simple project by any means. 

Bob suggested driving to Las Cruces tomorrow and spending a couple days. It’s too much to drive hundreds of miles day after day. 

Best game results ever! Yesterday I invited Bo and today Arlene to the group Jojoba Wordle and More

1. Yuma

At last we were on our way for our 2022 Summer travels. Last Friday Dinner (brochette trio) on 4/29, packing and cleaning, BOD meeting on Monday 5/2, more packing and cleaning, then finally departing JJH at 11:40 am. Already exhausted! 

Out of habit we headed west on Highway 79–not the way to Yuma. Good anyway as we needed gas, but not a full fill up as gas is over $6 a gallon. Once we crossed the Arizona border it dropped $2. 

En route an Emergency BOD meeting followed by Executive (of course when we were in the hills with no wifi) started at 3pm but only 12 minutes long! Drat! Forgot my iPad and meeting notes.  

Finally time for 4:30 dinner at the Golden Corral.  Love those bakers, mashed and cabbage! We headed to Planet Fitness on Castle Dome, wandered around Kohl’s, then decided to head to PF in Fortuna at 7pm.  Neither club is 24 hours but boondocking in Yuma is never a problem. Bob showered and was impressed with large showers and soap.

Tomorrow we’re heading to Willcox for my Elks card (late again) but maybe the online will work if I can get the login fixed. It’s a 4-hour drive to Tucson, and Willcox is beyond.
