Heading North out of Phoenix up to Cottonwood provided us some terrific views as we drove into the Verde Valley. Phoenix was fogged in but soon the fog burned off and even the San Francisco Peaks near Flagstaff were visible and covered with snow. This lovely state park

Waddell? Yep, Waddell (pronounced Wah-Dell – not Wa-Dul as my sister so impatiently explained to me). I lived in Phoenix for a number of years and never heard of Waddell but there’s are lots of places I don’t know. Waddell is a small community right next to Surprise and Sun

Time for the Annual Big Top RV Show in Quartzsite. We left Mittry Lake two days before the show began and made the crazy pilgrimage to Quartzsite. And the line of motorhomes goes on forever and ever….. Traffic was moving but there was a string of motorhomes all headed north

We have stayed at the Palm Canyon Campground countless times and find that even through it can be almost full in the winter (Jan, Feb, March) we can almost always get a spot for a few nights. We sometimes make reservations ahead of time if need be but not always.
