Yuma to Casa Grande

Today's road trip was an easy one - not too far, interstate all the way, no traffic issues, and no adventures!  Maggie did well today with only half of her anti anxiety pill.  

We saw lots of desert - the cholla and ocotillo cacti were in bloom, we started seeing saguaro cactus about half way here. That's the good part.  We also saw (and smelled) three major beef feed lots, ugh.  Once we started getting near Casa Grande we also saw some agricultural fields.  We climbed to about 2,000 feet at one point and as we were coming down into the valley here you could see the air - as in you couldn't see the mountains in the distance.  Not sure what the pollution was from but it was ugly.  

Our RV park is OK.  We are in a pull-thru site in the transient area and the sites are really close together but doable for one night.  There's a doggie park not far where Maggie can be off leash.  There is lots of traffic noise.  No grass - just gravel like all of Arizona RV parks.  But, for $25 a night, it is OK.  

We met up with our friends from Lake Tahoe and went out for dinner.  It was nice catching up as we haven't seen them since last October before they left for warmer climate.  We will see them again when we get back home.

On the road again tomorrow.  Stay tuned.
