It was a rather tricky drive getting outside of Prescott, Az. That's a road we'll never take again in our motorhome. The road isn't something I'd recommend even if driving a car. Craig earned his stripes that day. Drove thru Quartzite; it looks the same as usual, although ...

Saturday 20 June 2009<br><br>A short driving day, we started out with lunch after laundry. Our second Road Food pick was Mrs. White&#8217;s Golden Rule Café, a modest diner with whitewashed concrete walls adorned throughout with signatures and well-wishers&#8217; notes written in black Sharpie. The food is thoroughly Southern country cookin&#8217; or soul food; take your pick. Steph had the southern fried chicken, red beans, mixed greens and lemonade. Jim ...

Hope you all enjoy the photos Jackie Whedbee

... We journeyed home stopping at The Peanut Patch everyone has been raving about. Kathy told me they had the most delicious peanut butter ice cream. I thought maybe they made it but it was Dyers. Only, it was to die for! Peanut butter cup and a huge scoop for only $1.50. I was going to buy Dale some cornnuts, but the line was so long and the girls were having trouble with the cash register. We had groceries to get in ...

We are not taking the time to have a good look around because our mission is to be home for Christmas and with a stint in the desert to attend to the needs of Eve our time will run away like the sand in an hour glass. We reach Yuma by early afternoon to pick up the vehicle parts waiting for us and after a quick run around for items on our list and a good grocery shop we head out to our desert spot.   Our desert spot is just a spot but the few people that call it home for a time, make ...
