Road Trip – Spring Camping in the Desert

I’ve been looking for a slide-in cabover camper to put on my truck for months so I can go camping. Yes, I do live in a 5th-wheel RV, that’s my 27-foot home. I want to go camping. And I’ve mostly outgrown tenting and sleeping on the ground. I like a few creature comforts, like a bed, sink, stove, and toilet. So I’m spoiled, I deserve it.

The truck is ready
Tomorrow I’m driving to Quartzsite about 100 miles southwest to look at a camper that friend Ron found. If it all works out, I plan to take a little road trip, maybe Gila Bend’s Painted Rocks Park, Casa Grande National Monument, camping in the middle of nowhere desert and hunting for pretty rocks and spring blooms.

Vulture Mountains, Arizona
Left town Saturday morning and enjoyed a gorgeous drive through the desert.

Quartzsite, Arizona
After a quick visit with Fab Grandma I headed to Quartzsite. Ran into Joanne selling her beautiful jewelry and couldn’t resist buying a gift for Berta.

Sunday after breakfast with Desert Messenger I went to Susanne’s in Bouse and stayed in her little guest house trailer overnight.

Bouse is beyond Hope
The next morning we left for Algadones Mexico at sunrise. We both had dentures realigned which took most of the day. I also got an eye exam and new lenses put in my old frames. Neither of us felt like walking around with no teeth or glasses so we hung out in the courtyard at the dentist’s office. Finally done at 4:15pm and waited almost three hours in line to walk back across the border. Back to the guest trailer by 9:30.

Tuesday after a quick stop at Vicksburg fleamarket to see friends, I took a leisurely drive home through the desert, stopping frequently for photos.

Highway 89 cuts right across the Weaver Mountains & home is at the top
A very nice journey with many friends visited, yet I was very happy to get home to my own bed. Know what I mean?

Another Road Trip

Taking off in the morning back to Brenda to see Fab Grandma, then Quartzsite again. Plus going to Bouse where Suzanne lives so we can go to Mexico Monday for dental and eye appointments.

May or may not be posting for a few days. But will try to remember to take more pics.

Have a great weekend everyone!
