Casa Grande, AZ: Luxury Living At Palm Creek RV Resort

On Monday we moved to Casa Grande. Mary Lynn found a "buy one week, get one week free' special at a very nice RV resort, The Palm Creek RV & Golf Resort. This is one of the places we are considering staying this winter so it gives us a chance to see what the resort is really like before committing for a couple of months.

Monday evening we had dinner with Newt W., who was my boss when I retired from HP. Newt's a great guy and it was a lot of fun getting caught up with him. He's pretty inquisitive by nature and we spent a ton of time discussing life on the road in an RV. In turn, he updated us on how things are going at HP.

Considering the economy, things are going pretty well. I let him know he and the rest of his extended HP team have 18 months to get the stock price back up to at least $50 per share. He told me he'd 'get right on it'. In any case, really great to see him and hear about his family.

On Friday we spent half the day at a huge open market in the Apache Junction area plus explored several RV campgrounds. The market calls itself a swap meet however everything is new. Absolutely huge; fours rows of stalls, each about a 1/4 mile long. It just went on forever.

On Saturday we drove to Casa Grande to see the resort where we are now located. Couple of great pools, spas, and every imaginable activity you can think of: Golf of course, tennis, pickle ball, lawn bowling, shuffleboard, all kinds of card games every night, bingo, and classes on silversmithing, lapidary, stained glass, computers. Plus lots of aerobics and water aerobics every morning. Organized trips, dances, parties, etc. And, there are a number of motorcycle owners in the park that frequently get together for rides around here and into the mountains. Too cool.

While in Casa Grande we have several trips/activities we would like to accomplish. A day trip to Yuma and Algodones, Mexico is a definite. Plus we'd like to explore the Arizona State Fair, the Case Grande Ruins, Tucson, and some local parks. Maybe even take a trip down to Rocky Point, Mexico, which is on the Sea of Cortez, about 3-4 hours away. I've never seen the Sea of Cortez so that would be really cool.

Wow! Lots to see and do, just the way we like it.

See Ya!
