strong wind from the west. Went through Phoenix, very
smoggy, huge traffic. Just north of Phoenix the road
starts to climb and the rise goes on for 25 miles.
From low desert to Saguaro cacti to scrub Pines. The
car really labored for the first time and the wind was
whipping the kayak back and forth.
I'm now near Cottonwood, AZ in a big time RV park with
a social director and heated pool. They have a stay
two nights for free deal trying to sell a membership,
like a time-share come-on. The mountains have the
same coloration as the Grand Canyon and there's a fast
flowing river just below my campsite. Saw a gila
woodpecker on my walk down to the water. Walking into
the "family center" felt like going into Porter
Nursing Home, except not as many wheelchairs, though a
number of little electric scooters like George rode on
Seinfeld. And the campground is very quiet. Tomorrow
morning I have to attend a sales presentation
