LOCATION: 40 miles east of Phoenix in Apache Junction.
WEATHER: Very nice. High about 65
After more than 2 1/2 years on the road, we finally did it......locked both sets of keys in the trailer. We were on our way to the RV park's library. George left first. Conversation across the parking lot went like this.......
Karmen....."Do you have the keys? Should I lock up?"
George....."Yes and yes"
Karmen....."ok, here I come", slamming door behind me
George (too late)... "No!"
The car was locked, too, and my extra set of keys were safely in the locked trailer. What to do? George decided to try to squeeze in through the storage bin. Note the small area on lower right of trailer...
It is where tools are stored. It leads to a cabinet under the bed. We pried up the bed, then George wiggled inside..
Somehow he was able to push up the mattress platform and crawl through. What an ordeal! All his muscles hurt.
We then packed up and moved to this state park where we will be for a week. I had reserved it several months ago, snatching the last available site, when we knew we would be in Phoenix before our flight to New Zealand.
Camping in state parks is so different from RV parks. Everyone is out enjoying the scenery, hiking, and cooking over campfires. We biked around the campground and chatted with our neighbor, from Iowa. The sunset on Superstition Mountain was beautiful.
Still no definite interest in our camper and truck.
DINNER: Texas caviar. I had a recipe to turn this appetizer into a meal. It is black-eyed peas (to use up too many I bought for New Year's good luck meals), black beans, corn, cilantro, onions, garlic, red peppers, rice and poblano peppers. Pretty good. Unfortunately, I made way too much.
