We met Jim and "Torchie" at the Flying J Truck Stop in Quartzsite and had breakfast. We started a trip over to Phoenix to spend maybe a week or so with them. We stopped at the Cracker Barrel so that "Torchie" could have lunch. They have an RV place in the back but it's a little tight for a big rig.
We went to an Encore RV Park in Apache Junction to spend some time in Phoenix. This park is about 30 miles from the nearest town out in the middle of nowhere. It's the "pits". They had one small pool open and it was COLD. We stayed one night and left to find a better place. We went to Valle Del Oro in Mesa, AZ and it was real nice. They also have a lot of activities to keep us busy. They have two large pools which were nice and warm and two hot tubs. You can stay there for $11 per day or $167.51 for two weeks. We took the two week offer.

Jim and "Torchie" knew all the good places to eat and all the nice things to see. They really got a lot of pleasure showing us all the spots. One place we went was a pizza restaurant that had an organ that played all the old favorites. We went to Scottsdale and saw some of the homes where the "rich and famous" live. We went close to Superstition Mountain but didn't get up to it.
We went with them while they were looking for an RV Park where they could "winter". Those in Phoenix were about $500 per month plus electricity. We drove to Casa Grande and the RV Parks there were about $400 plus electricity. We looked at our "sister park" and could stay there for $10 per day. When our two weeks in Mesa are up we'll go to Casa Grande and spend a week there. From there we'll go to Tucson and Tombstone before leaving AZ.
Jim and "Torchie" were able to land a workamping job in Casa Grande at Sundance 1 RV Park. We came down to spend a month with them and they were able to get us a site at $200 per month plus electricity.
