Casa Grande

We arrived in Casa Grande on Feb. 28th 2014 where we stayed at Foothills West for two nights. Cost was 22.40 a night with our Passport America membership. This was a good short term location but it was mostly full time residents.

On Sunday March 2nd we relocated to the Casa Grande RV resort. This was also a Passport America park and we stayed there for 11 nights for 198.00. This resort had lots of activities but we were busy sightseeing and did not take part. I did go to the Aqua Zumba classes which were fun and a good work-out.

This was the first time I had been to a campground laundrymat that limited you to two machines. This was difficult because we only do our laundry every 5-6 days so we needed at least 4-5 machines. But as usual we learned to bend to the rules.

While in Casa Grande we traveled to Scottsdale, Az. to revisit a restaurant that we had eaten at in the late 70's while on a bank trip. Pinnacle Peak Steak House a long history and a great reputation for great steaks and Margareta's. It is quite a large facility serving 1800 customers. We arrived early on a week day so we had no trouble being served.

Another side trip was to Gold Canyon to attend the Hitchhiker luncheon where we hooked up with friends. After the luncheon we drove into Tortilla Flat. It was a scenic drive and we enjoyed another adventure.

Since spending a lot of time in the Phoenix area we decided to move the camper to Gold Canyon and stay at Canyon Vista RV Park. There we spent time with friends John and Glenda who work as camp hosts.

Dinner was spent with our friends at the Organ Pipe Pizza where we recommend you try. The pizza is great but the highlight is watching the Organ rise up and hearing all the music.
