We had our usual relaxing start to the day and then decided it was time to do our resistance exercises...and get on with our day. Steve was just about to get into the shower when Lucky called...it was around 9:00. Apparently the truck was taking longer than he expected so it wouldn’t be until this afternoon. Well okay, that’s fine...we have no plans anyway.
After breakfast and dishes, we decided to go out for a bike ride. After stopping at the office to pay for another couple of nights, we rode around the whole resort again. We also checked out where the sani-dump was...it`s by the fuel pumps so Steve was hoping that there would be an air hose so he could put a little more air in his front tire. But no such luck...the tire isn`t flat but is getting low and of course, our air compressor is in the truck.
After our bike ride, we sat outside in the sunshine reading our books. Lucky finally called just before 1:30...the truck was ready and he would be out to pick us up within the hour.
They had lightly sanded the one side and buffed it...after inspection, Steve seemed happy with the results. We thanked Lucky and were on our way. Steve really wanted a haircut so we found the address of a (fairly) nearby SuperCuts and plugged it into Serena. While Steve was getting his haircut, I quickly had them trim by bangs and then went next door to Safeway to pick up a couple of things.
We arrived home around 5:00 to find we had new neighbours...blocking our great view of the water...sheesh! As I was unlocking the trailer door, I noticed a note written on a piece of paper towel that was wrapped around the handle on our barbeque..."Hi neighbours, sorry to block your view...we are only here for a couple of nights, Bill and Lucy"...awww...too funny...Steve had also apologized for blocking our neighbours view when we moved in.
Terry, our neighbour from the other side, came over with his maps and showed Steve where to ride in the Wickenburg area. This fellow is with a group of people who ride trail bikes and really knows all the areas in Arizona very well.
After dinner, we settled in for an evening of our favourite TV shows...Survivor...CSI...Criminal minds...

Tuesday, February 28, 2012 (Pleasant Harbor RV Resort, Peoria, AZ)
I was up at 5:45 this morning and after only one cup of coffee, was told to hustle...time to get ready, we’ve got to go. We were on the road and on our way to Lucky Luciano Custom Paint & Collision shortly after 7:00...this is too much like getting up and going to work...sheesh!
We had brought our books, laptop, and iPad...everything we would need to keep us busy while we waited at Lucky’s for the truck. But to our surprise, Lucky said he would drive us back to Lake Pleasant...the truck would take the better part of the day. So we were home by 9:00. When Lucky dropped us off he asked if we would be okay if the truck wasn’t ready until tomorrow morning...it would be either late this afternoon or tomorrow morning...no problem with us.
We spent the next couple hours of this chilly morning inside...I wrote our journal, downloaded pictures and got our travel blog posted while Steve watched TV and then went outside to offload the bikes.
We bundled up and went for a ride all around the resort...its huge!
This is the Clubhouse that houses a large events room, laundry, a small convenience store, as well as the change rooms and entrance to the pool...
There are 254 fenced sites with full hook-ups...this is a picture of a typical road. Interesting...these sites are all full with RV'ers that are there for the season but there are no park-models...a true RV Resort...
The pool is not very busy on this cool day...
A nice group campfire area...
We road to the south boat launch area...see our rig way over there?...

The dam on the left...
After lunch, we decided to go for a walk down to the marina and check that area out...
Outside on the deck in front of the bar...
The docks to the privately owned boats are locked so only members can enter but there was a public area, so we checked it all out....
Time to walk back down the long dock...they actually have golf carts that shuttle people back and forth from the parking lot...
We walked up to the Vista Point dry camping area...
There was one trailer camped up there...
Gorgeous views...
And this is the north boat launch...
We figure this place must absolutely be hopping busy come summer time...the whole area is so huge...not only are there the full-service sites, there are the temporary sites (with water and power) and then there is tons of room for dry camping.
By the time we got back to the trailer, it had warmed up quite a bit so Steve sat outside in the sunshine reading his book while I made a batch of cookies. I joined him a bit later but found that the breeze was still fairly chilly, especially when the sun went behind a cloud...so it wasn’t long before we both headed inside and continued reading.
We didn’t hear from Lucky at all...so I guess the truck isn’t going to be ready until tomorrow...

There is a Bar & Grill down there but it is only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday during the winter season...
