Candlewood Suites Yuma

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 ...

... to it. The three or four blocks of rejuvenated businesses included some antique and curiosity shops, ice cream shops, movie theatre with coffee shop offering drinks with Hollywood stars names, a British pub, a live stage theatre and the billiard hall/restaurant we ate in, Lutes Casino. Lutes Casino was a find in Let’s Go Roadtripping USA. After perusing the menu outside, Jim was fascinated by the Lutes’ Special – a combination hot ...

There was a small shoppe inside to buy ice cream, candies, and of course, dates. It was a good day! Of course, that night was game night. I purchased $3 in pennies. I haven't opened $1.50 of the pennies and my can is full as well as another container ...

... more of the same desert scenery! We passed through small towns that dotted the landscape until we got to Blythe and I10 into Arizona. We were headed to Ellenberg and the Flying J to fill both tanks. Dale had done his research on prices per gallon and this place was the less expensive in Arizona. They also had a Wendy's so we grabbed some lunch to go. Next town we came to was Quartzite, 17 miles away from Ellenberg. Before we even came to the town we could see RV parked ...

... a trip to the Cabezon and Premier Outlet Malls where the favourable position of the canadian dollar at the time was deinitely to our advantage. We also benefited by the senior's discount (both of us!!!) and huge end of season sales of up to 70%. We did manage to keep control, though.
