Arizona is our winter destination this year; we departed Shoreview on Dec 28th and headed South. The trip to Arizona took many days with many stops in-between. Travel temperatures were warmer this year than last, so we were able to look for campgrounds that were open, and spent evenings in our motorhome, rather than hotels.
The first night we spent at Terribles Lakeside Casino RV Park in Osceola, Iowa. Other MN travelers were there too. From there our travels took us to Emporia, Kansas, where we spent an evening in a RV park located between the Kansas Turnpike and a very busy railroad line...then on to Guymon, Oklahoma which had a couple RV parks, but both were encased in mud from the melting snowstorm afew days earlier. That evening we opted for the Walmart parking lot!
On New Years Eve day we left Guymon in hopes of driving to Albuquerque by the next evening. Instead strong gusty winds drove us off the interstate early afternoon, and we spent New Years Eve in an RV park in Santa Rosa, NM. The winds calmed overnight; our next stop was Deming, NM. On the way to Deming we passed through Hatch, NM the Chili Capitol of the USA...there were chili peppers and restaurants serving spicy delights everywhere! Finally on Monday, Jan 2nd we arrived in Casa Grande, Arizona, our final destination.
After a couple days of checking out parks, we moved to our new "home base" in Casa Grande today...now we can start sightseeing...
