BACK TO THE DESERT SETTING

Thursday, February 9 – Well, here Marsha goes. She is going to try to publish the blog using Blogger for now. She may be switching over to another platform when she finds the time.

We had a short and nice drive this morning from Yuma, AZ, to Why, AZ. Why is a tiny unincorporated rural community in Pima County, Arizona. There are two buildings in Why. That’s all folks.

We are staying at Hickiwan Trails RV Park. This is a Native American park and at the end of one day here, we love this place!

Hickiwan RV Park


















Gravel roads and sights at the edge of the desert. The sights are nice and level with full hook-ups and a concrete patio. We even have a tree out our back window. We choose a 30 amp site because we liked the secluded spot near the end of the row. For the first time since we started full-timing, 2009, Marsha forgot to take photos of our site. She feels terrible. She went online and is borrowing the following two photos. They aren’t near as good as our site was but gives you an idea of the park.

There is a casino at the entrance to the park. We walked up to check it out. It is very small but there are mostly penny slots which we like. We may give it a try one evening.

We are ten feet from a walk in the desert and Bella, our cat, loves walks in the desert.Soon after getting set-up in our site (C13), we took her for a walk.

She is acting a bit shy.

We then relaxed waiting on the sunset. They are so beautiful in the desert! We weren't disappointed. To add to the thrill, there is a nearly full moon tonight. Tomorrow it should be completely full.

An additional attraction are the donkeys! Yep, the desert area around the park is full of donkeys. They come up behind the casino in the evening to drink the water dumped by the casino water filtration system. The neighbors say they “honk” all night. Ha ha! We've been warned to watch our cat too. There are many coyotes in the area.

  2. I LOVED this park!! We did 30 amp, as well, because of the location. I went out every evening at sunset and just wandered among the cacti. I was so thrilled to be right among the saguaro. We heard the donkeys at night:)

  3. There now. Doing this post right in Blogger wasn't so bad was it? But, I have never used LiveWriter so I have nothing to compare it to. :)

    We were going to go to Why this year but ran out of time. Maybe another year

  5. We visited "Why" with our grandkids on our way to Rocky Point. They got such a kick out of the town and wondered "why" anyone wanted to stay in "Why".
