Where Are We
Today
Park Place RV
Park
Quartzsite
Arizona
This is the
last day in this park as we leave here tomorrow morning for a destination down
the road. Not far down the road, we will spend a few days at Roadrunner BLM
area before heading to a park in Yuma for five days. April 10th will
see us hitch up and start the journey home.
Quartzsite Flyers Field |
This morning I made one last trip to the flying field to say goodbye to the flyers still here. Many have left in the last couple of weeks, as the temperature rises, the winds pick up and insurance runs out. There are a couple of guys that live here year-round, but they even say come mid-April, it is too hot to fly.
This has
certainly been a different winter for us not having our Canadian friends here,
we have missed them, but have also enjoyed meeting and spending time with our
American friends. Also, we have met new friends both in this park and flying
friends at the field, who we look forward to seeing next year.
That's us, bottom right. |
This park is open year round. Thinning out as us snowbirds head for home. |
With that being said, we have made changes to how and where we will spend our time down here. Our favorite park, Pilot Knob has been sold to Thousand Trails Park systems, with many changes coming. We have decided to get rid of our one park membership as we don’t use it enough. We will keep the second one, as it is less costly on a yearly basis. It will also get us into most of the parks the first one did.
We have had a
great winter here in Arizona and very happy that we were able to get away this
year. Looking ahead to our trip home and what the spring and summer will bring.
Until the
next time, take care and keep checking in on Pat’s blog to see what we have
been up to.

ReplyDeleteThanks sweetie. 😊
DeleteSafe travels and maybe I will get to see you fly next year.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lorne, same to you. We will have to see what we can do about the flying.
DeleteOh no....not Thousand Trails. That's too bad. Elva
ReplyDeleteThat's what I say, we will have to see what shakes out.
DeleteSafe trips to your next destinations. That is a nice flying field and I can see that you liked to be close to it. Hope to see you guys in Canada!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marlene, I have enjoyed myself at the field this year. Yes hope to get together this year. We will be having our campout, details coming soon.
DeleteOhhhhh sorry to hear TTrails bought that RV park. They have terrible managers and don’t enforce any of their many rules. Have fun in Yuma. Can’t wait for next year!!
ReplyDeleteYes we are too. Looking forward to Yuma and definitely seeing you next year
DeleteIt looks like it is going to be an Encore Resort which is owned by Equity Lifestyles, the same company that owns Thousand Trails, but not a Thousand Trails park as such. I may be wrong but that is what it looks like from the booking site. ($45 a night!!!!)
ReplyDeleteI just Googled Pilot Knob RV Resort and it came up as you say Encore Resorts, Thousand Trails. The cheapest rate that I could find was $60/ night. Either way, big changes.
DeleteP.S. They own many parks in Southern Arizona and California.
ReplyDeleteSafe Travels and Enjoy the coming adventures.
ReplyDeleteIt's about time.
Thanks Rick and Kathy, looking forward to a change.
DeleteSafe travels, enjoy the adventure.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb, will do.
DeleteHope you've enjoyed your winter of flying!
ReplyDeleteThanks F.G. I sure have.
DeleteWe don't have a RC plane but we do enjoy going to the Quartzsite airfield a couple times a year to watch. It is a great facility!
ReplyDeleteYes it is a great facility, put there by the town for us. They also put in a RC track for cars/trucks in another part of the park.
