Day 46 - Coolidge, AZ

A relatively short day mileage day but having to go through downtown Phoenix was a bit too much civilization for me. At least it wasn’t during rush hour. We are in an RV park that we found on Passport America in Coolidge, AZ. I think it is mostly a mobile home park that has a bunch of spaces for RVs during the winter. It has a nice pool and hot tub and is very quiet. Nothing really special but it’s only for a couple of days.

This rig was at the TT campground in Verde Valley. I thought it was pretty cool. No problems towing the “little” toy hauler. I think they are here for a while evidenced by the large propane tank next to the trailer. He told me that the used Volvo tractor was about the same as you would spend on a new one-ton dually so he considered it a decent option.

We are here for just two nights and then we head for our next TT campground on Thursday. This will be our first experience with an Encore park that we get with the Trails Edition add-on to our TT membership. Most of them seem to be more upscale than the TT campgrounds and they have some additional rules which will limit our use. We will be there for a week. That will give me time to arrange storage for truck and trailer somewhere near the airport.

We met another ham friend from Fairbanks, Mike (AL7F) and his wife Pat for dinner in Chandler, AZ, at a BBQ place. They just moved into their motorhome after driving their truck from Fairbanks to Arizona in five days.
