Pioneer RV Park, Wellton, AZ - Jan 23
We only stayed one night here also, in part due to our schedule, but mainly because they out-and-out lied to us. When we called to see if there was space for us, they said probably not in with hook-ups, only in boondocking. "But" they said, boondocking includes electricity. Of course, once we got there (and had to wait over an hour), they changed their tune -- it turns out only a few boondocking sites have electric, and the one camper they were counting on leaving decided to stay. So they led us to the "boondocking area" which is little better than a wide spot by the road, not much different than pulling off the side of a road in town except that here we were only 100 feet from I-8. Our good friends Shirley & Henry were staying here, & it was good to see them, but we will not be back to this park. Doug & Henry had a good time laughing at the pictures of the Banzai Pipeline competition in Hawaii that Doug's son-in-law Bryan took. Some surfer mag paid his airfare & hotel expenses to photo the competition, and the pictures (at www.pezpix.com) are great -- funny, if you enjoy seeing upside-down surfers about to find out why they use beach sand to make sandpaper.# posted by Doug and Willie @ 12:51 PM
