It started off when we left home and I was hoping to stay at 55MPH to get the best mileage I could with the motorhome. That didnt work too well; At times Barb couldn't keep up to me going down hills at 80+!
Fred introduced me to a new refreshment called. 5.5.
Its good for the diet....
Then we began to notice that most of the RV Parks out here say 55+ !
As you may know we are no where near 55! But no one really asks to see ID? I think its the economy. You could probably stay here at these resorts if you were 30?
I also noticed at a lot of these resorts the only people around are "post 55."
Lots of white hair. Golf carts, Walkers, Bingo, Bridge etc.
So what does all this mean?
Well its quiet, thats for sure, easy to relax! Most of the people in the places we have seen are retirees. They come from all over. Some just for the winters (Snow-birds like us), some have retired and live in park model or other types of mobile homes. Every one is happy!
As we continue to investigate I noticed a lot of places have signs that say 55+ - Active RV Park.
Hmmm.... Define active? I dont know....
I know that there are people my age and younger that live or snow-bird in their RV's we just havent found many of them yet.
APACHE JUNCTION - SUPERSTITION MOUNTAINS
Yesterday we took the after noon in the car and drove east out to the Apache Junction area.
The first stop was an old antique store. There's lots of old history in this area.
As I was wondering around the store I noticed two people wearing hand guns on their waist.
One was a guy who had two!
The other was a 4 foot tall woman in her 50's maybe 60? They didnt know each other.
Were the guns real? I didnt ask...
Next we went over to a Ghost Town (Gold Mine) just to the east.
We are definetley going back. We only had a couple of hours and it wasn't enough.
Gold Mine AZ. The Sheriff shot a few Bad Guys when we were there.
After that we ventured over Tonto National Forest then into Lost Dutchman State Park.
We found a nice natural campground here at the base of the Superstition mountains.
As soon as we got back home Barb booked us into the State Campground starting Tuesday (Nov 22/11) for 6 nights. We won't have much for internet as we will be roughing it again. Dry-Camping with no hookups. If we wander into town we might stop by Starbucks to check email once every few days?
We will be camping the next week (Tuesday Nov 22) at the base of the Superstition Mountains.
