After being delayed by snow and extreme cold, we’re finally headed south towards our first scheduled stay in Quartzsite, AZ. It’s about a 5 hour drive down to Albuquerque, where we’re parked at American RV Resort, west of downtown along Route 66. We’ve been at this park before – it works fine for an overnight, but suffers a lot of noise due to its location on I-40. Sunday was the first NFL wildcard game, and with Denver wining a wildcard position, we decide to stay put and watch the game. Unfortunately the Broncos lose – but hey, at least they made a playoffs!
Snow! in Albuquerque, American RV Resort
On Monday we’re all set to make the 4 hour drive to Holbrook, AZ. But, even before we hitch up, the snow starts to fall. After a cold and wet departure, we’re in snow on and off all the way across to Gallup. Fortunately it’s dry and sunny as we arrive in Holbrook, at the OK RV Park. This is our first time to OK – and find it much quieter than the KOA that’s nearby but much closer to I-40. From Holbrook, we’re off to Camp Verde at Verde Ranch RV Resort. This is a favorite, and frequent stop for us. Nice level sites and full hookups make our quick overnight stay very pleasant.

From Camp Verde, it’s a relatively easy drive across Phoenix for at stop at the Blue Beacon Truck wash and on to Quartzsite. The weather has finally moderated in Quartzsite with highs pushing into the 70’s and lows in the 40’s. There are about 30 rigs in the Circle of Montana’s when we arrive and as always, we had a great time with new and old friends from the Montana Owners group.
From Quartzsite, we’re off to Cathedral City, CA. We’ll be at Outdoor Resorts, Palm Springs for 2 weeks. More from the Coachella Valley!
