Since the push is on to get home as expeditiously as possible, we stopped today only to grocery shop, top up the gas, and eat lunch. Consequently, we didn't visit any interesting attractions, and I never even got the camera out. Our target destination today was the city of Tuscon, and we handily made it by 4:30 p.m. after starting our 320-mile run in El Paso, Texas, at 8:05 a.m.
At lunch today in the city of Lordsburg, New Mexico, we made our evening camp reservations by phone, but we had no idea what the camp would be like since we'd never stayed there before. Little did we realize that the camp had been set up specifically to cater to the famous "snowbirds" who come to Arizona from the very coldest and snowiest states in the union to escape winter's worst.
It soon became obvious when the KOA counter person issued us camp spot number 1639 that we would be keeping company with more RVers than we have in the last ten camps combined. And that's not all. The camp has its own restaurant, fitness room, game room, fireplace sites, and miniature golf course.
And even that is not all to be seen at this Shangri-la of RV parks. Over many of the longterm campsites, perhaps those which cater specifically to snowbirds, the camp owners have erected sun-filtering, steel slatted roofs to ward off the winter sunshine presumably! I guess it's also possible that some of these long-termers simply stay here year-round and would need the slats in the 120-degree summer months.
Anyway, since I did drag out the camera and take photos of this camp before the sun went down, I thought you might like to see what "fancy" looks like in the way of RV camps. Enjoy!
