THOUGHTS ABOUT EARP

DEC 31, 2017

We left Earp/Parker  yesterday, but wanted to comment about a few things.

In Parker,  we have to buy our water. It is 25 cents a gal. There are water dispensaries at the campgrounds and in front of every store.  You never realize how much water you use, between cooking and drinking, until you have to buy it. We go  thru about a gal a day. The first morning we were there I forgot and used it right out of the faucet. It tastes terrible, had to spit it out. The dish drainer turns brown and yellow in spots. UGH!!! You also have to buy it in Southern AZ, but, we aren't going there this year. We keep 3-4 empty gal jugs with us for the water.

Also, a note on recycling. In Renton, we recycle everything so much so that we have a very small garbage can.  Washington recycles alot more than another state. On the way down, no campgrounds recycled. At Menifee we were able to recycle everything.  At Parker, nothing but aluminum cans. Since we don't drink pop or beer (in cans),  we can't recycle anything. . Here, in Cottonwood, we again recycle everything.  Amazing how much garbage we have when there is no recycling. 

Had a good time in Earp/Parker. It is one of Denny's favorite parks, but we also visit our friends from Windsor, Canada. They stay the entire winter there. We met them several years ago. That's one of the nice perks about traveling, we meet so many people from all around the U.S. and Canada.

The average temperature was about 75, so we spent alot of time in the hot tub because our next stop was going to be much  colder. The picture below shows you our we spend most evenings



In an earlier post, I mentioned that I have some Christmas decorations, but I don't want to take up alot of storage for something that is up only a few weeks. Showing you some RV's that have alot of decorations.


There is  also a huge Santa in the back on the right side that is on the ground.
