Two major decisions were made today. First decision is we are not going to buy the Monaco Monarch RV from the California dealer. We are going to give our business to the dealer in Carthage, MO and buy a new, built to order Newmar Bay Star. We won't be able to take possession until we get home in April, but that is okay with us. We'll have plenty of time then to test it out, move in and get comfortable in it before we take off on our summer adventure.
The second decision was that we need to move on down the road. Remember all the cop cars we keep seeing? I was asking the local dumpster-divers, who are nice people cleaning the recyclables out of the dumpsters, about this situation and they said that there have been several instances of the rangers catching Meth cookers out in the desert this winter and that was probably what they were doing the last few nights. Then later in the day, as we were riding our bikes on the desert road for some exercise and exploration we saw two rangers monitoring (spying on and/or trying to intimidate maybe) our neighbors in the the Buffalo Tribe hippie bus. That was when we decided to move on down the road. Not to mention the fact that we only had a few gallons of water left and we could only have stayed another day before needing to dump.
So tonight, as we sat around the campfire, we pulled out the tour and camping books and found a golf course in Wickenburg that sounded interesting. We'll camp there for three nights before going up to Cave Creek. There is supposed to be some hiking opportunities there as well.
