We celebrated Stuart’s birthday on Good Friday (we won’t reveal the number but it is not scary yet) by going to a morning matinee in Casa Grande to see Clash of the Titans. It was a good movie in an excellent theatre and was very enjoyable. We went to a Chicago style BBQ place for lunch and did some shopping at “the mall.” They don’t have indoor malls here—they are more like large plazas with single level stores side by side and across the roads. They take up a lot of area and you need to drive from one end of the shopping area to another.
Saturday was our last day at Desert Gardens RV Park and we spent it doing things around the trailer, biking on the desert trail and getting some sun by the pool. There was a rattlesnake that came out of the desert into the RV sites and one of the guys trapped it with a rake. The maintenance man had a snake catcher (a long hollow tube with a wire looped through it) and took the snake back out in the desert to release it. They paint the snakes once they are caught and if they show up again, they are terminated. Similar to what is done to black bears in BC.

We relocated to Palm Creek Golf and RV Resort in Casa Grande yesterday (33 miles) and I took my turn towing the trailer. I had more corners and traffic this time but all went well. The main office was closed yesterday so we were put into a site temporarily and we plan to pick a better site for the next 2 weeks. We’re back to “civilization” with paved roads, great facilities and even garbage pick up twice a week at your site.
When we were sitting in our chairs on our concrete patio yesterday afternoon, we felt them moving a bit and wondered what was going on. Then people around us who had been inside their RV’s came out and started talking about an earthquake. Sure enough, there was a 7.2 scale earthquake off the coast of Baja California that affected Los Angeles, San Diego and parts of Arizona including Yuma. Good thing that we moved out of there a while ago.
