Wandering again in the deserts

Wow! Real internet service from Verizon at last. It's been a while since we had really good connection to do the blog so here goes.
After 2 1/2 weeks in the desert south of Phoenix, we have restarted our journey Westward once again. Dry camping at a FREE campground for 2 weeks was really neat but showed us we were not really prepared as we don't have solar panels yet. Keeping the coach batteries happy was a fairly constant monitoring process with the occasional jumper cable hookup to the Toyota Tacoma to recharge.
We did enjoy the beautiful sunrises and sunsets as well as our travels in the area. And, I got to fly my electric plane a number of times in the campground as there were no trees, just a few saguaro cactus to dodge. All flights were successful. Translated, that means the plane was still fyable after landing:)
Last night we spent in Salome, AZ and will be going to the desert somewhere in the world famous Quartzsite area for a couple of days until our mail catches up with us at General Delivery. We will then mosey up towards Lake Havasu and Laughlin, NV and onward to Death Valley. We'll be heading homeward in a few weeks and hope the snow has gone from the RV's spot in the back yard when we get there:) The trip has been great but we are both looking forward to a larger kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. Lou will also really appreciate her own laundry facilities.
Until then, we will continue to enjoy the journey. Travel routing stays very flexible as we are still considering wether to go back via Nevada or California or a combination of both. We are tracking the weather patterns and will do whatever it takes to stay out of the snow! The RV does not have snow tires!
I'll not dwell on the weather other than to say the sun is bright and warmwith a few high clods and a lot of contrails from the Air force fast movers playing in the sky.
