We drove up to Cottonwood, AZ on Dec 30th. It is in the mountains, about 100 miles north of Phoenix. The elevation is 4000'. A few days ago we woke up to 22 degrees. Yikes, a tad cold. Thankfully the daytime temps were in the low 60's. The next few days, we had a heat wave of 28 and 29 degrees in the morning. Today, 40. We have been coming here for several years and have always been told to let our water drip at night so the pipes don't freeze. On Dec 31, 2014, we woke up and it was snowing. Snowed all day to a total of 4-5". Much sooner than in Washington, but not this year. Our house in Washington got 6" of snow the day before Christmas. We would rather have cold than snow. Of course, this is wonderful weather compared to everywhere else in the States. Glad we are here.

On our way here, we saw something that we had never seen before. At rest stops, there are separate areas for trucks/RVs and for cars. For the first time, we saw a disabled parking spot for truckers. Our truck and RV are to the left. Seems like we are always seeing new things that we had never heard of.
When we are in this park, I feel very close to my parents. They traveled in an RV for 20 years. This is one of the parks they spent alot for time at. Over the years, we have been in alot of the same parks, but this was one of their favorites. The other one they spent alot of time in is in Palm Springs, also one of our favorite parks.
In a previous post, I talked about recycling in parks. Some do it alot, others not at all. This park recycles everything, but does something I have never heard of. You bag it separately, but put it in the garbage. The recyclers separate it. Usually you put everything in a separate recycling bin. Seems like alot more work for the recyclers.
