Moved from Dead Horse Campground to Forest Service land near Thousand Trails.
14 day limit but two campers at the very end look like they have been here 14 years.
The days have been in the mid 70's and lows in the 40's
The Lat/Lon are 34.66875N 111.96240W.
It has been a little windy, about 10 - 15MPH which is good for my wind generator but might get a little irritating for most.
I now have the wind generator hooked up the house batteries and let the Solar take care of the Inverter batteries. Without tilting the panels this time of the year I have see over 54Amps. More than enough for my daily needs.

Cottonwood.


Nice drive in AZ. Speed limit is 75. Was impressed by Kingman, nice town. Purchased a battery for the generator and a new tire for the trailer. I then made the mistake of taking Hy 89 Alt North to Cottonwood. It was only 15 miles but it was the hardest 15 miles I have every driven. Very sharp turns but the worst was how narrow and how close the guardrail was to the pavement. Only touched the rail twice. Then, it dumped my in the town of Jermone with its very narrow streets.

Got to Cottonwood and found Dead Horse Ranch State Park. This is the place to stay if in this area.


Trip to Sedona AZ


Started on March 21 from Auburn, CA. First stop was at Lancaster, CA to see ny good friend
Terry. We had a nice visit.
Left on the 23ed. Molly and I learned stop ever 2 hours and stretch, really help me out.
Had a trailer flat about 6 miles before Needles. Tire pressure monitors did not work. $220 later we were back on the road. Found a very nice campground before crossing the Colorado river.
