Reservation at the Reservation

Day 91 – Wednesday, September 11

We passed under a bridge and saw a great display of patriotism to commemorate 9/11.  I think we can all remember where we were and what we were doing on that day in history 12 years ago.

 

Our scenery changed again today as we headed east on Interstate 10 from LA across the desert.  We left the palm trees behind….

and we began to see a bunch of interesting things:

There were huge Miller Lite cans along the side of the highway (part of a brewing company). 

 

Then, we came upon a huge number of windmills which went on and on….they were right next to the highway and sat high on the hills surrounding the road.  We also experienced the wind that the windmills are trying to catch, as we were blown around on the highway by the winds racing across the desert.

We finally entered Arizona, and the temperature was 100+ degrees. (I hear it’s almost that warm in Indiana!) 

Because the RV storage place closed before the time of our arrival in Scottsdale, we called ahead to the casino at the Indian Reservation to see if we could park the RV for the nite.  They said sure—you can stay up to 3 nights, if you come in and visit the casino!  what a great deal!  The casino is not far from our condo, so this allows us time to unload the RV and get things transferred without going back and forth to the storage place which is much further away. 

So…we’re spending the night in a casino parking lot on an Indiana Reservation…a new adventure for the Lundcruiser!
