Another hot one but it’s supposed to cool right down to 69*F by the week-end; kind of looking forward to that!
Val did a load of laundry in the morning and in the afternoon; we went to the pool as they had live music and selling beer for a dollar! T&G and others that we met were there too.
For dinner, it was pork chops and potatoes with greens then we watched the tube and went to bed early. I don’t know why but my eyes were red and burning all day!?
NOV 2, Wednesday,
We had a windy night, I had to bring the awning in but right now, it has calmed down and it is very nice out there.
Val went for Tai-Chi class then the four of us went shopping at Camping World then Costco where I bought a sound bar for the TV, Wal-Mart where we didn’t find what we were looking for then came home as we had a party to go to. From 3 to 6 pm, there was a pool party and everyone brought a “happys” and your own booze or buy at the bar. We had a good time and everyone got wet whether you were with or without a swim suit. Ever seen children with water gun? That will give you an idea what it was like! We came home around 6 pm
NOV 3, Thursday, last day in Val Vista
I washed “BEAR” in the morning and Val helped me drying it then I washed the windows and dumped the tanks. In the afternoon, we went shopping at BIG LOTS and K-MART where I bought a lamp for my corner then headed to Costco where I returned a sound system I had bought but found too big for the rig. We came home and walked over to Terry & Glenda for Happy Hour. Dennis and his wife Gloria whom had come by earlier to say their goodbyes were also there and so was Mike. A while later, another couple came by that had just arrived from BC and left after a drink as they had a dinner date. Moe and his wife, Trish, who had just flown in today, arrived and the six of us had dinner together thanks to Glenda generosity and good cooking. We had pork roast, sweet potatoes, salad, buns and wine. Needless to say that everything was absolutely delicious and we had a wonderful last evening together. Then it was time to call it a night and we came home after saying our goodbyes to Moe and Trish and goodnight to T&G.NOV 4, Friday, to Casa Grande
The forecast is for a wind storm between 11 am and 8 pm so we didn’t waste any time and left by 10 am after saying goodbye to Terry. Silly me, last night when we said good night, I forgot that Glenda was leaving early for a golf game so we didn’t see her this morning. I guess I owe her two hugs now!We drove south on Val Vista, west on Hwy 60, south on 101, west on 202 and finally south on I-10. We arrived at Desert Shadows, a WHR park, an hour later and after setting up on site 605, the wind began picking up and we were enveloped in a sandstorm within the hour. Just in time, huh!!!
We had lunch then it was relax time. The park is almost empty, very few people here and the organized activities don’t start until the 15 of this month. They don’t even have a cook yet so we may not get a Thanksgiving dinner!?
We went into town to Big Lots and Walmart then returned home. As I was driving, the steering began making a funny whiny noise so I stopped at the Ford Dealership only to find out a main oil line to the steering was leaking badly and it was suggested we leave the truck there which we did. They drove us home which means no wheels for the week-end. Why does it always happen on a Friday????
N 32* 55.269’
W 111* 45.273’

We drove 51 miles (84 Km) in one hour at an average 51 mph.
