Luxury accommodations one night and a place called the Budget RV Park another… that’s how we roll.
Going discount has its advantages. I don’t have to worry I might be charged for everything I touch. And no budget place would consider charging $14.99 for 24 hours of internet access. In fact, this RV Park boasts speedy internet… and it’s included.
Heavy Duty Production
Liam and I have been working like wild men trying to get Irish pieces ready for the Phoenix Saint Patrick’s Day Faire. It’s been nearly non-stop production in some form or another for both of us. I think we’ll have have over 75 brand new pieces ready for Saturday’s show – that’s a lot!
Too Good to Be True
On Monday, we took a drive to Globe, AZ. We read about it in one of the magazines, and when we called the casino there, the woman told us they had FREE RV hookups. Like the smell of fresh apple pie, we were lured by the sound of a free, remote area to get some work done.
We should have done a little research before we left. Globe is at 3,500 feet, and we had to drive through a little snow storm to get there. And the area was a bit depressing… what was once a thriving town looks like one condemned building after another. Then, we found out the hookups cost $20… and I couldn’t get the electric to work. While Liam was inside the Quik Mart (yes, you pay at the gas station) trying to sort out the payment and electric problems, I was fighting the wind and rain trying to get plugged in.
It turned out to be such a fiasco, Liam said, “Let’s get out of here.” Back down the mountain an hour and half to the KOA in Apache Junction. Fortunately, the drive was absolutely stunning… more so on the drive down because the rain and snow had stopped. We’ve got the towns of Globe, Miami and Superior on our list of places we’d like to revisit… they’ve got the allure of a ghost town… but right now, we’ve got to stay focused on work!
