Thursday, November 1, 2012, Fort McDowell, AZ
We are now back on Las Vegas time, Arizona doesn't do day light saving time so part of the year we are the same. I fixed coffee and called the parts department here at Lazydays to ask about replacing the hinge on the door under the sink. They said they had them. I started walking to the parts department. A kind employee with a golf cart gave me a ride and waited until I was through and carried me back to the coach. The hinge they had didn't match our broken one. The gentleman there told me he would find the right one and give me a call. It turns out the hinge has to be ordered from Fleetwood, I'll do it when we get home.

Our progress home from Texas

We left Lazydays at 11:15 en-route to Fort McDowell, AZ. The RV Park in Scottsdale didn't have a spot for a 42' motorhome. The route took us to the east of Phoenix and then east on a loop road to AZ-87 to Fort McDowell Road and on to the RV Park. The park seems like it is way out in the country but they have quite a lot of amenities, including a shuttle to the casino on the other side of the highway.

Tim and Beth Burton

The Verde River is on the east side of the park. I walked along the rail fence but could only see the trees and brush growing in the river bed. I didn't walk down the slope beyond the fence. The setting sun was golden but the sky was clear. It was pretty but not spectacular.
Tim and Beth came over at 5:30 and after visiting we went to an Italian restaurant for dinner. It was an excellent meal and we lingered over it visiting and talking about future plans.
We got back to the coach after 10. We said our goodbyes until we see them again in Carlsbad next July.

At dinner with the Burtons

I got ready for bed while Gerri caught up on her computer. She was asleep on the couch ten minutes later. I had to wake her up to get in bed. Tomorrow will be a day of rest before we head home on Saturday.
