Mar 29th - Williams
Housekeeping day today. Watched the icky weather and did a load of laundry. I am glad that I only had one load as it was the most expensive laundry facilities so far - $1.75 for a small washer and $1.50 for the dryer for 42 minutes. Same machines that were $1.00 for wash and .25 for each 17 minutes of drying in Quartzsite.
Mar 30th - to Camp Verde
Snowed more last night but the roads were clear. Had to sweep snow off the slides before we could bring them in. Short driving day - hit I40 to Flagstaff (35 miles) and then south on I17 to Camp Verde (53 miles). We are in a nice clean park - near the freeway but below it so the noise is very low. We got the last spot in the park and only got it because Terry is a good driver and got our 36 foot rig into a spot with a 27 foot max designation. We had lunch in town and then went to Montezuma’s Castle nearby. It is a restored dwelling on a cliff face that was used by Indian farmers in the 1400’s.
We purchased an annual pass for national parks and monuments when we went to Zion and we have already recovered the $80 cost. Once Terry is 62 we will be able to get a lifetime pass for $10 - there are some perks to getting older!
The weather was lovely so we wandered around the park and chatted with one couple who is here with a group of people in small van-type campers (Pleasure Way). Then we met another couple on a walk and after standing in the street for a while we asked them over for a drink and took notes on places they had been and recommended.
