Thursday, January 26 – We had a nice trip across I-10 today reaching Casa Grande, AZ, soon after lunch time. We are at the Escapee Co-Op Park (SKP) Ro'Ver's Roost. It is located about eight miles west of Casa Grande. This is a Co-Op park which means the camp sites are owned by individuals. When the owners are out of the park, the sites are put into a rental pool. These sites are then rented ($16/night FHU) to traveling Escapees.
Our site is very nice. Nice wide site with plenty of room to park the truck next to our 5th wheel. Patio and concrete sidewalk out to the paved street. The street is plenty wide enough to make backing into the site fairly easy. We have 50 amp electric, water, and sewer. There are activities at the center for those wishing to partake. There is also a nice laundry, library, and social room. As an added bonus, washing of rigs and tow vehicles is permitted! Our 5th wheel was filthy and washing it was Paul's first priority after completing set-up in our site.
Looking right.

We then took a short drive through Casa Grande. This is a fairly large city with just about any store you need. We shopped at groceries at a newly opened Fry's Grocery which we found outstanding. We may do a little more sightseeing tomorrow, but we have plans on returning to Casa Grande in early March so may delay touring until then. We have laundry and other household chores to take care of instead.
We are only here two nights before meeting friends for a couple days. Then it will be off to Yuma and beyond.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see y’all back real soon. Have a great day!
We stayed there in 2007 for a week. Nice park and friendly folks back then.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a very nice place to spend a few days waiting for your get together:) That's great that Paul could wash the 5th wheel!!
ReplyDeleteWe have spent a fair bit pf time in Casa Grande and that area in 2006-7 and 8 just about anything you need can be found there.
ReplyDeleteI guess we'll catch you on the return visit. I think the Sam's Club and the new mall have made the area much more convenient.
ReplyDeleteNice to get a glimpse of another Escapee's park. Enjoy your time in Casa Grande.
ReplyDeleteThe good thing is that the weather was chilly when you arrived and now it's warm. Did you bring it with you?
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing both of you!
Keep thinking that we need to stay there on our way to Goodyear some year. But now with Texas for healthcare not sure when.
