Pair-A-Dice in Pahrump NV

Zero-scaped front yard

Sunset Over and through the Carport

 One of the nicest resorts we visited this winter was the Escapee  park, Pair-A-Dice RV Park in Pahrump NV.  Our two week stay was wonderful; the people very friendly. the sites spacious, the grounds well maintained and the dog park, well used and kept clean by the residents. Glorious sunsets, lovely yards with flowering cacti and native NV plantings and zero-scaping yards made for a very pleasant stay.  Of course, it helped that fellow SKP members own a site there (we didn't know this until we found them)  and we enjoyed numerous Happy Hours with them.

Residents purchase their site and any upgrades and when they no longer wish to stay there, the full purchase price returned minus the annual fee.  Good deal and this is the nicest and most reasonable Escapee park we have visited.  Thinking about it for a future longer term stay!

Another beautiful sunset

Bullhead City AZ

Our View from our Site

 Next stop was a week's stay in Bullhead City!
While in Yuma, we visited the Swap Meet/Flea market. On our way out, I stopped by a kiosk that was giving out a flyer for a resort in Bullhead City, for $99 for a week.  I was skeptical but decided to check it out, although we were certain it was a timeshare type discount where one is obligated to sit in on a pressure driven presentation to purchase.  As it turned out, it was not and we enjoyed a wonderful week here.  Our friends, Ab and Esther joined us for an overnight on their way home to Sudbury/Orillia from Long Beach.  I was able to get their stay through Passport America for $19.00, an unheard of bargain these days!

The View at night

It was hot; we walked the resort daily and ran our AC through the day, but it did cool off at night which was great for sleeping.  Lots of shopping and casinos but we stayed close to the resort.  We did enjoy a Sunday morning brunch at the nearby Black Bear which was very good.  On to Pahrump NV.

Topock AZ Route 66

Our next stop was Topock AZ on the Historic Route 66.  Nice Passport America park where we stayed for a week at $15.00 per night  overlooking Goose Lake and its adjacent protected wetlands.  Here we walked the desert everyday; the desert flowers were putting on a real show.  Below are samples of California Poppy and Desert Lily; for a more complete folder, check my Facebook album of desert flowers.https://www.facebook.com/brenda.turnersouthwood/media_set?set=a.10153661515193496.1073741830.798408495&type=3

Desert Lily

Thoroughly enjoyed the area, travelling one day to historic Oatman(we had been here before) and the famous wild
 burros from the days of mining. Not much to see here but the countryside drive was beautiful as the brittle and creosote bushes were splendant in  bright yellows!

California Poppy

3 Dreamers RV Park

 A quick catch-up here!  After departing  beautiful San Diego, we headed back to San Jacinto, the rig and the dogs. Packed up and headed to Yuma for a two week visit with Wes and Nini.  Stayed at Pilot Knob for four nights and then Adobe Village in the Yuma foothills where our water pump on the car decided to pack it in for an expensive fix.  We have decided to come back to Adobe Village for 2015-16 season.
Our next stop was 3 Dreamers RV park in Brenda AZ, a very nice Passport America park in the desert which we walked daily.

While there we were taken to breakfast at Dos Amigos (it was very good), treated to many campfires and a weiner roast our last night.  We were royally treated, so we will return.  The sunset was glorious every evening, the desert walks energizing although it was hot (Winston sought out cactus shade) and the neighours more than welcoming.  On to Topock!
