Day 5 - Thurs., Nov. 5, 2009







We were awake by 5:00 a.m. this morning and were on the road by 6:50.

We stopped at the Blue Beacon truck wash in Eloy, AZ to get the coach and trailer washed. It was filthy and we can't go to the desert looking bad!!! After getting the wash, we went across the road to the Flying J to fuel up. Fuel was $2.65/gallon (.58/litre) and this time we got 8.6 MPG.

After fueling up, we headed out on the last leg of our journey. We left I-10 and headed west on I-8 to bypass Phoenix. At Gila Bend, we headed north on Hwy 89 to Buckeye and then back onto I-10 headed west.

When we arrived in Quartzsite, we went to the Pit Stop to fill up our propane tanks. The people there recognized us and welcomed us back! After that, we headed straight to La Posa South LTVA - our home campground. We registered and paid our $180.00 fee for the winter. As we were registering, our friends Robert & Malvena saw us and welcomed us "home". On our way in to our campsite at the Magic Circle, we stopped to dump our sewage tank and fill up our water tank.
We arrived at the Magic Circle and our favorite campsite was available so we backed the trailer into it's usual spot and moved the coach into it's usual spot and dropped everything to go to Social Hour in the tent. Most of the full time gang are already here!! It was so good to see everyone.
After social hour, we headed back home to finish setting up and settling in.
