We packed up this morning for our journey back home. The CG is quite full and we have a new neighbor that came in with a full size box truck towing a trailer. We have been traveling around the country for many years and have never seen this type of set-up. The box truck is so big it didn’t fit in the parking space in front of his site and also didn’t fit into the small parking space next to his trailer.
After the king-cab pick-up truck across from us left Ron was able to get around the truck without any difficulty. Then we were off to our next destination. Ron had found a CG in Wikieup, Arizona that sounded and looked good so that is our destination for today.
Looks like a really nice place to stop and spend the night. It is a Passport America CG with full hook-up’s and Wi Fi so a great deal at a $10.38 nightly rate. It is promoted as Dazzo’s Desert Oasis. Sounds to good to be true. Well, yes indeed it was .
I was looking for this cute place that sounds great but somehow missed it at mile marker 123. We went up the road and stopped to call to get more info on where these Caribbean colored buildings might be. We had a bad cell connection but finally I was able to decipher that the “oasis” is located right behind the biggest flag in town.
We found the flag -
and Dazzo’s Oasis- Not quite as pretty as the ad, but OK. Notice – no peaked roofs and bright colors.
Then we pulled into the CG.
We faced the mountains so the view great.
Couldn’t ask for much more for ten bucks. The Wi Fi worked well and we ate at the diner for dinner. Excellent food too!
The area is failing and looks like it is on the same path as Route 66. A new highway will be coming through most likely cutting off this area to traffic. We met some very nice people staying here either permanently or for the winter. For $175.00 a month it sure is affordable.
Who knew you could get Chicago style hot dogs and Philly Cheese Steak here in the middle of no where!
During our drive here Jewel was very upset and crawled up on the pillow on the couch. ‘
She looks content but she is really mad at us. LOL
It was an uneventful day and a nice ride/drive to Wikieup..
