Amado, AZ High 72 Low 48
We left AJ at 8:00 a.m. Tuesday morning heading south to Amado. Monday the winds were horrendous in some places but not too bad down in the Valley. Tuesday looked really good weather wise. We prefer not to drive through traffic so we drove down to Florence and then down to Picacho Peak before we get on I-10 through Tucson. We did have a head wind through Tucson but it wasn’t too bad.
Got to De Anza RV Park in Amado about 11:00. Jan and Bill, John and Karen and Sherry and Dave were already set up so they brought their chairs down to watch Jim do a blind side back-in. Of course, he had no problem but it has been so long since we’ve done that type of back-in that I couldn’t remember where to stand to direct him. He finally got me straightened out and we did just fine.
Borrowed these pictures from Jan’s blog.
Got a call from Ginny wanting to make sure we were okay. There had been a 19 vehicle pile up near Picacho Peak in a dust storm which left three people dead. Those dust storms are incredible dangerous.
Tuesday afternoon, Jim and I went on the Title Missile Tour. That will be a separate post. Got back in time for Happy Hour and then they served us a lasagna dinner. Look at the size of those servings. Needless to say, we brought enough home for at least another meal.
They showed the moved The Long, Long Trailer after dinner but we were tired and came home. We have seen the movie and it is funny.
I had my fingers crossed with the big pileup at Picacho which means peak in spanish by the way..
ReplyDeleteJim must have really good eyesight. I have no depth perception at all any more. I never have seen the Long, Long Trailer, but since I'm not a movie watcher I would have to be in exactly the right mood to view it. I'm sure it is funny enough to be worth the watching.
ReplyDeleteThat stretch by Picacho Peak can be brutal we have spend some time in that resort on I-10 and witnessed a few.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy you time there with friends.
We've never been caught in one of Arizona's dust storms but I know they can be deadly--drivers don't respect those storms any more than they respect a MT snowstorm.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness you missed the big pile up! It sounds like that was a real bad one too. They can certainly catch you unaware.
ReplyDeleteWe saw that dust storm on TV. How terrible! Glad you two are safe. Y'all have a great time at the Rally.
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it thru the winds okay - I hate them when driving, especially when trying to blow me into the other lane. We went to our first ever rally last week and had a very good time.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a family sized plate of lasagna!
ReplyDeleteI'd drive through a dust storm to get to that great looking Lasagna too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it safe.
ReplyDeleteDo you even eat lasagna? I can imagine you eating your salad and Jim's and letting him have the lasagna.
Now that lasagna almost looked too good to eat! Bet that didn't stop you... :cD
ReplyDeleteI hope to do a rally someday. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteGlad you were safe. Hate backing in on my blind side especially when friends or stranger are watching. The bigger the crowd, the bigger the mistakes. Any of that lasagna left?
ReplyDeleteYou know what they say, "Come early, see the show, come late, be the show." It sounds like Jim was up to the challenge.
ReplyDeletelasagna is definitely one of my favorites:)
ReplyDeleteNow that is a lot of lasagna.
