Yesterday we drove east on Highway 60 for a few miles to see Superstition Views at Canyon Vista Resort, a Cal-Am Properties which also owns Sunflower RV Resort. The park is a combination of RV’s and park models and now they are in the process of selling “upscale” park models.
The company brings in the manufactured homes then the transformation begins. First, they put the home on a permeant foundation and then the home is insulated. After that is done, they completely stucco the home.
You can customize your home to include a covered RV pad, a roof top sun deck and other improvements. As you can imagine, these things don’t come cheap and of course you have the association dues at $514 a month right now.
Later in the evening we had a prime rib dinner at the Elks which turned out to be just OK.
Saturday, Wille, June, Joyce and I made the drive up he Apache Junction Trail to the little town of Tortilla Flat. This little town, if you can even call it that, used to be the last stagecoach stop back in the day. Now, they have a store and restaurant and not much more.
On the Apache Trail
We had lunch in there and I have to say, it was all pretty darned tasty. The walls are and some of the ceiling is covered in $1 bills and when sitting at the bar, you'll sit on saddles. Pretty cheesy if you ask me but this is a tourist destination.

On Sunday we hooked up the towd and headed down to the Gila Bend Famcamp on Gila Bend Air Force Auxiliary Field just south of Gila Bend, AZ. Nothing fancy here but for ten bucks a night you get good 50 amp electric service, sewer and a reverse-osmosis water system. Also, there's free laundry and all the ice you need. If you ever want to come here, make sure you bring plenty of food as any good shopping is an hour north in Buckeye. There are a couple of convince stores and a 99 Cent Store in town.
I had been feeling a little puny on Sunday morning but when we got here, the bug hit me like a ton of bricks. Chills, runny nose and a low grade fever. Yesterday, I felt somewhat better but stayed around the coach for most of the day. Today I feel about the same as yesterday so the plan is to some of the same as yesterday. Hopefully I’ll feel better tomorrow for the move to El Centro.

We’re now parked at the Palm Oasis RV Park on Naval Air Facility El Centro, CA. The run over from Gila Bend was easy, taking us about 3.5 hours counting a stop for fuel in Yuma. We got diesel for $2.68 a gallon there, a lot better here than in the Peoples Republic of California.
More later.
