Casa Grande, Arizona

November 14th we finally left our newly adopted "home" town, Pahrump. The night before we had completed the process of changing our Elks Lodge affiliation from Indio to Pahrump, so we had completed our assimilation as Nevada residents. Besides, we had been there over five weeks! Time to move on. We spent the night at our Western Horizons membership park in Ehrenberg, Arizona, just across the Colorado from Blythe, California. Didn't even unhook the car - not much to see and do in Ehrenberg, or in Blythe for that matter. Left early the next morning and arrived at the Palm Creek RV Resort in Casa Grande mid afternoon. This is a beautiful resort and it is huge, about 2,000 spaces. They have a very large clubhouse with all kinds of activity rooms, including computers, pottery, metalsmithing, sewing and cards. They have tons of activities listed on the daily schedule. About half the resort is small park models with the remainder being RV sites. With all the clubhouses, the golf course and the activities, it reminds me of Sun City, except with RVs instead of houses.

Last night we went to the ballroom in the clubhouse for an informal pizza night/dance. Before the dancing they put on a spoof of "Deal or No Deal" with one of the Casa Grande City Councilmen doing a pretty funny Howie Mandel. We had a good time visiting and dancing.

We don't have any big plans for our stay here. We will be going up to Phoenix at least a couple times to visit with Roy's family. We may also have to take the coach down to Tucson for a couple days to get some warranty work done on the camera system.

We'll keep you posted on our activities from time to time.

Bye for now.
