In Cottonwood, AZ at Thousand trails Verde Valley

Well, it's been an interesting two days:

Left Moab, UT last Wednesday (sept 23 ),  stayed one night in Verde Valley TT, then drove on south
Into Glendale, AZ.  Checked into J and H RV park ($41/night).  It was HOT!  Our a/c would not work, so checked out at 6:00 pm and spent the night in a Best western ($51).  Got up Friday and made two appointments:  1.  Mountain master inspection of truck,  2.  Gene's RV to fix A/C.
Error code HI-PS, which means high pressure.   Fix was to bleed off freon and move thermostat.
Cost $260 labor.

Went by pilot to fill up, then back north to Verde Valley TT for one night.  Could not stay longer, due
To shortage of sites with electricity.  They got hit with lightning in August, and have many sites down.

Leaving Saturday morning up to flagstaff, then east on I40 toward Amarillo.  Sept 26.

in Moab, UT at Spanish trail rv park

Left Cody, WY on Sept 12, headed toward Moab, ut.  Stopped in Vernal, UT for two nights at Fossil valley rv park.. cost $33.15 per night.  Good shade, table.  Charter $1 for cable TV that did not work.  Got $2 refund.  Charged for shower 25 cents for 1.5 minutes of water.  Ridiculous!! No other water restrictions, just shower.  No paper towels in rest room.  This good dsam park is over rated.

Left  vernal Sept 14 to Moab, UT.  Moab has 6 good Sam parks, most were close to full when we arrived at 3:00 pm.  Checked in to Arch view rv resort 9 miles north for 2 nights.  This park is all dirt, windy, on hill and expensive (cost $99.62 / 2 nights).  Went shopping for cheaper space.

Moved sept. 16 (wednesday) into Spanish trailer park on south end of Moab.  Cost $236.05 for a week.  Electricity only, no cable or table, all dirt, but nice shower house.
no paper towels.  Thru Tuesday night, leave on wed 22nd.  WiFi is none existant.

Bob and Mary Ann arrived thursday.  We will run around with them for the next 5 days.
