Moving Day, Windy and Warm

Ridgeview RV Resort, Bullhead City, AZ

On Sunday, Oct. 30th we lounged in bed until 8 and then took our time getting up and ready for the day. We were obviously in no hurry. Today is moving day but we can’t check in to our park until 12 noon and we don’t have to check out of Davis Camp Park until noon. That worked out perfectly!

Davis Camp Park

The thing we noticed this morning was how windy it was. Bill didn’t have his weather station out but it was a pretty steady wind all morning. Enough to blow things around if they weren’t secured and it was certainly hard to walk with Gibbs and for Bill to get things put away outside. We pulled out at 11:45 and drove the 10 minutes to Ridgeview RV Resort. This is a Coast-to-Coast Park which means $10/night for us. 😊

Gibbs and I walked around while
Bill hooked up

We found a sad little rock
I left it behind

Bill asked for Site #20, beside our friends on the north end of the park and we were in location pretty quickly. Once set up, we noticed, appreciatively, that the winds were not as bad here. We were sheltered by the hill of rock behind us so that was a good thing. This park, this city, is known for being a windy location so we are not surprised. The weather is forecasted to be warm until Thursday so the winds could very well be welcome!

The wash is quite big along here
so I'm sure it is necessary at some point

The pool and clubhouse

We had lunch, a rest and a visit from Lori – part of the Greeting Committee. Gibbs and I went for a walk around the ‘block’ and since it turned into a pull, tug and sniff session, I went on my own after I took him back. I checked out the pool, the clubhouse and even put a few pieces of the puzzle in before heading back to the Suite. Bill was setting things up, like the weather station, the barbecue and the satellite.


I love their clubhouse here,
with view inspired windows all around

Yay!

Our Happy Hour was complete
with a visit from the Gamble quail ♥♥

We popped over next door for Happy Hour, which I hope we didn’t overstay, and decided on eggs and mini sausages for supper. They hit the spot and we finished the meal off with our last little cherry pie. 😊 


A simple supper but a filling, easy one

We watched some tv together and I worked on my blog. This was a great day and we think the winds will be less tomorrow so I’ll be checking out (like physically getting in) the pool!

The sun sets on another great day
good night!


Thank you for the visit.

  3. Your new park seems real nice.
    Love the quail! While your in Arizona do you ever run into
    Scorpions or snakes? As it warms up you may. We even
    saw tarantulas some. Not a surprise as it’s their home.
    You must feel happy at finally arriving and enjoying the southwest.
    We love it too.

    1. Thank you Linda a. I love the quail so much, even their little sounds. ♥
      We have not run into those critters although are very watchful and careful in the desert, especially in March. I hope I don't see them nor tarantulas since spiders are freaky to me!
      We are very glad to be here, warm and beautiful. Thanks for the comment.

  4. I stayed there once. Although I loved the view, it was too windy and 118 degrees, so I moved on. Looks like it would be perfect this time of year.

  6. Park has tall skinny trees wth leaves only on the top! Looks hot but I guess the winds made the day cooler. Club house looks very comfortable with good views, I am sure the 3 of you will be enjoying a good 5 days. Hope you can get your swim suit out tmr!!

    1. The palm trees are certainly skinny and I'm thinking they trim the leaves to make them look so clean and neat. I got in the pool today! ♥
