We are big Arizona Diamondbacks fans. Since last year, the Cactus League no longer plays in Tucson. Now we have to drive up to Phoenix if we want to see our team up close before the regular season starts. We stayed at Green Acres RV park in Mesa, Arizona. It's about what I expected, tight spaces, with lots of long timers who keep to themselves. The Phoenix light rail runs right in front of the park, so we left the truck at the park and rode the light rail (just $4 for a 24 hour pass) Mill Ave and...

Since our last post, we relocated from Albuquerque to Tucson. Our travel trailer came in handy during the relocation. I was unaware that hotels charge an arm and a leg for a "pet deposit".

We are looking forward to this weekend as we will visit Red River, New Mexico. We passed through Red River a couple of years ago while driving the Enchanted Circle https://www.enchantedcircle.org/page.php?p=maps in New Mexico. I vowed to return and spend a weekend there, and now that we have our travel trailer, I will make it happen.

We made reservations at the River Ranch RV park in Red River. After our somewhat less than stellar first outing at Turquoise Trails, I am looking forward...
