The Big City

Sorry I haven't got back to you sooner. We have been busy and running ever since we arrived.

Our trip from Wickenburg was perfect and when we arrived at Countryside RV Resort we found it almost empty. I guess it's getting too warm for the snowbirds here. We have stayed at this park several times now and it has been difficult getting reservations, but this time we have it mostly to ourselves.

In between visiting and shopping and eating, we decided to defrost the refrigerator/freezer that was way overdue. It has been giving us an error code 13 and Doug researched it to find that we need a new heat tape. So, the refrig is in pieces all over the coach and we will order a new part this morning and have it shipped overnight. What a pain.

Tomorrow, we'll be heading to the west side of Phoenix to have the alternator repaired. There's a highly recommended shop that can do the work while we take the car and visit Mick, only 7 miles away. Hopefully it will only take the day to fix.

It's been a whirlwind couple of days and as usual the weather is gorgeous. We have been able to run the air conditioning because we have 50 amp electrical service here. That's a treat! Still, we are looking forward to going back to Wickenburg's peace and quiet, as well as getting back into the desert looking for gold.
