It was a short drive to Gila Bend where we stored the Jeep. Almost all the 'stuff' stored in the Jeep is now in our shower -- boat, snorkel gear, fishing tackle box, and bike bag. Since it was noon at that point we had lunch at the Italian restaurant where Prince Harry dined when he was here training to fly a helicopter (or so someone told us). It was actually pretty good food.
It was a short drive down to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument where the Escapee's Mexican Connection are meeting. Over 50 RVs are going together to Mexico. I got us registered and we then headed to an organizational meeting and we met a few people. There are no hook-ups in this campground but they have really nice concrete pads to park on.
Wednesday dawned cloudy and windy so it was not as warm as we like, but it wasn't bad either. We rode our bikes to the visitor center and back then rested. We had another meeting at 3 this afternoon with more info about charity donations and a pitch for officers. The 50 RVs are broken down into 8 groups. Each group will travel together to Puerto Penasco, Mexico and will camp together as well. We had a nice cocktail hour with our group leaders and got to know those in our group.
John had rented and downloaded two movies for us to watch in Mexico but we decided to watch one of them tonight. Once we start them, we have 24 hours to watch them. Somehow both movies were started tonight so we will have to watch both of them! Good thing we don't have to get up early tomorrow!
