Return to Phoenix

We started off Oct. traveling from Fallon, NV to Beatty, NV with no problems on the road. However, once to arrived at Beatty RV Park our big slide would not extend. Then the next day when we arrived at Preferred RV in Pahrump, NV the washer would not work! We ordered a new control board for the washer and Larry put it in after we arrived in Cottonwood, AZ on the 9th. While we were in Pahrump I walked to the bank (and was very thankful I did that since I learned the B of A in Cottonwood is now closed!) two different days as well as Smith's grocery, traveled to Front Sight and we also enjoyed the Chinese Wok Buffet.

We left Pahrump a day early so we didn't have to drive so far in one day and stopped at Mohave County Fairgrounds in Kingman, AZ for the extra night. We were the only ones there so it was extremely quiet.

Once in Cottonwood we visited Camp Verde and checked out Zane Gray RV for a possible visit next summer. We discovered our favorite Chinese place in Cottonwood was out of business but we found another one by the Safeway and it is almost as good. They even serve eggplant which is something I have not seen at a Chinese Buffet before. Our friend, Margaret, came to visit us from Chino Valley and told us that the forest service was having prescribed burns and Larry immediately said we needed to leave for Phoenix as he didn't want to breath any more smoke so we left 8 days early the next morning, Of course we had another problem and had water coming over the drive tire on the passenger side. Upon investigation, Larry saw the pressure relief valve was bad (after 16 years) and was leaking so we had to turn all the water off to the coach. We stopped at Loew's on the way in to get repair parts and Larry fixed it as soon as we arrived in Phoenix. Seems it is always something!

Fortunately the weather in Phoenix is beautiful and Larry has been busy setting us up for the long haul since we don't plan to move anytime soon.

Somehow the time shuck up on me and I missed the 1^st! It was Larry's brother and SIL's 60^th anniversary and our 2^nd great granddaughter's 1st birthday.   Nov 2 we went to her birthday party. It was good to see everyone again and she was such a good baby and never cried once while we were there.
