"Live" from our Southwestern Swing

Well we are stopped for the night. We found out something interesting about Walmarts in Arizona. Most will not let you park overnight. Also they are not RV friendly as being able to get in and out of the parking lot. We gave up on the one in Flagstaff after driving around the building and with all the trees and curbs not being able to park. We did stop at the Sam's, but it wasn't very easy to get in and out of either.

We arrived at the KOA in Williams, AZ expecting a 100' pull-thru spot like they told me on the phone yesterday that they had. Then we found out that the water and electric to that one had been turned off. So we are in a spot less than 75' long and hanging over. Then the plug is at the end of the spot at the end of the trailer and our cord would not reach. They finally got everything wired up and then you had to have something to lay the sewer line on because it could not lay on the ground. Anyway as good as the KOA in Holbrook was, this one is just as bad.

Then when I called yesterday, they said they had tour vans which would pick you up here and take you to the Grand Canyon for the day, which was the main reason we stopped here. So when I called about the tour, they said they wouldn't do it for just 2 people. So then we had to find a rental car, which we did. So we are about 50 miles from the Grand Canyon Park and we are looking forward to getting lots of great pictures tomorrow!

More tomorrow
