Our first day trip after spending over a month on the road in our RV was to visit the historic Winslow Arizona, simply because of The Eagles song “Take it Easy”. We simply had to have our picture taken “Standing on the corner in Winslow Arizona!” 17 Miles west of Winslow however, was the 50,000 year old Meteor Crater and site of NASA training missions for moon exploration and site of filming for one of Rob’s favorite movies Star Man with Jeff Bridges, filmed in 1984. Discovering the famous La Posada Hotel quite by accident, we left Winslow wondering “why on earth does that town exist anyway?”

Pulled Over By the Arizona Police
We got pulled over by the Arizona Police on our road trip to Winslow and the Grand Canyon.
Day 11 – Christmas in Phoenix
After a short trip on Christmas day, we arrived at Destiny RV Park in Goodyear Arizona; the RV resort that was to be our first month long camping spot. After a quick walk around the park to find the laundry facilities, the pool, hot tub, gym and rec room, we toured the surrounding area and then settled in for Christmas night together.
Day 9 – Wind Delay
Due to high winds in the area, we kept the motorhome parked in the RV park and waited it out. Having heard of wind storms near Phoenix causing deaths on the highway, we felt it better to stay put that risk it. As an added bonus, while waiting out the wind, Dar won $99 in video poker at the casino.
