We sure enjoyed our trip to the NRA and our little mini-vacation this month. We drove a rented motorhome from our home in southwestern Los Angeles County to Blythe, California and camped there the first night out. The next day, we drove to Phoenix and checked into the Desert’s Edge RV Park, near Deer Valley.
While the Phoenix RV Park may have been at the ‘Desert’s Edge’ at one time, the sprawling development puts it more in suburbia than at the edge of the wilderness. The campground sits a quarter mile from Interstate 17 and is in the heart of an industrial area.
Regardless of it’s suburban location, the Phoenix campground was nicely equipped and fairly quiet. The people were nice and we enjoyed staying there.
We camped in Wickenburg, Arizona, after three nights in Phoenix. The “Horsepitality” RV campground sits in a little hollow; the grounds are set up like a little western town and the mood is rustic and serene. There are stables set up for itinerant equine campers, too. The evening we were there, Damsel stepped out of the RV to capture these colors of a Wickenburg Sunset. Click on the image to enlarge.
After Wickenburg, it was time to head back to California, but we planned a stay in Twentynine Palms and a tour of Joshua Tree National Park before heading back home.
It was a great trip.
Did you get to meet my darling Cowboy Blob?
Great job on that sunset photo. I’m green with envy!
We only had a limited time to visit the convention center. Between traffic, parking a few blocks away and long waits/big crowds, we missed seeing everyone, including Cowboy Blob. For some reason, he was not on the blogroll and that is fixed now.
Damsel says thanks for the compliment on the sunset. She took many other beautiful photos during our mini-vacation. I try to post the best ones, but it’s always a challenge to decide which.
