In Verde Valley Thousand Trails, Cottonwood, AZ Aug.15 - Sept. 5

Drove from Bayfield, Co to Verde Valley TT, near Cottonwood, AZ.  400 miles.  Drove 9 hours.  Picked a Flying J on I40, just east of Flagstaff,AZ to stop.  Unfortunately, the truck stop had no electricity, so no Diesel or food (1400 pm).  Drove another hour to a Little America travel center ( 74 gallons ).  No 50 amps available ( we needed to call the park directly and request a 50 amp site).  Chose 30 amp site H42 with lots of shade.  Site was not level.  It took me two tries to get coach level( rear wheels on passenger side are completely off the ground).  It was 109 when we arrived.  I am tired!
