Last Day in Paradi…uh…Gila Bend…

Today is our last full day in Gila Bend, AZ.

And it was another work-around-the-coach day. And, as usual, everything took longer than I expected.

I started out  trying to finish up my earlier repairs on the water bay in the rig, but, although everything is working OK, I was unable to get one of the panels back in place.

At this point I can only believe that the panel was put in place and then the coach built around it.

At least,that’s my story and  I’m sticking with it.

My second task was to start going thru the bins in the basement, sorting stuff into ‘Keep” and ‘Throw Away’ piles, and then consolidating similar stuff.

I did make a start on this, but basically ran out of time.  There’s always another day, or another park.

We really like this little park. It’s nice, quiet, and cheap. It’s our kind of threefer, especially the ‘cheap’ part.

And it’s pretty scenic too.

Maybe it’s not quite as nice as Voyager RV in Tucson,

But then Voyager costs over 5 times as much per day.  $10 vs. $53.

One thing that seems strange to find out here in the desert is a…

Shrimp Farm!

The Desert Sweet Shrimp Company

So when we were here two years ago, we weren’t surprised to find that a local Mexican restaurant called Sofia’s.

Sofia's

sells a Shrimp Burrito that Jan says is to die for. So we figured that they got their great shrimp from the local shrimp farm. But when I asked I was quickly told that the shrimp farm shrimp had no taste, and they didn’t use them.

Who knew?

Tomorrow we have about a two hour drive to Yuma to get set up for the Western Gypsy Rally that starts next week.  But before we leave tomorrow I want to weigh our coach at the truck scales here at the nearby truck stop.

Later…
