TIME is the currency with just a few hours spent in the chaise recliner, we are departing Emerald Cove RV Park to: MESA, Arizona to "Stan's Place": Mesa Regal RV Resort.

Through Quartsite and on I-10 for 100 miles to Phoenix.  Bob Wills and the Playboys singing on the radio: "Bubbles in my Beer" and 1983 Kenny Rogers and Dolly (now 71 years young) remain: "Island in the Stream".  We find comfort in friends joining us on our RV 2017 Tour; not so alone and others enjoy it.  Mike greets us at the entrance to guide us to our site for the week in Stan's playland.


Welcome to MESA Regal Resort, ARIZONA road signs: 
"AR does not Spring Forward; We Buckle UP"!  
We are glad to be vagabonds and nomadic as we go from place to place without a home or a job.  "Backroads" by Little Feat, plays on the radio.  Stan's playground is open to us as we converge for a fun week of events Stan (and Mike & Sherry) have planned for us.  Stan has turned to be quite a "cruise captain" .......same week as his boat, back home in Sacramento, has sold.
