The week following Christmas in Phoenix was spent getting our bearings around the Destiny RV Park, finding resources, getting the BBQ working and taking full advantage of the hot tub a few hundred feet from our motorhome each night. One side trip so far, to the Apache Trail and the famous Route 88.

Day 10 – Hoover Dam
It was a short travel day today, from Pahrump Nevada to Kingman Arizona. Rob took a tour of the Hoover Dam as we crossed over it, and we spent Christmas Eve in our motorhome, a little closer to our first full on camp site in Phoenix Arizona.

After a little shopping for odds and ends we needed (vacuum and new sewer hose), we visited the Pahrump Desert Winery for a tasting.
