Day Two of the Caravan





We left early for the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens State Park - with Chuck and Maggie as passengers. Deja vu all over again!

This was a beautiful facility and we were given a great introduction to life in the Southwest as far as the flora and fauna are concerned. We saw many varieties of cacti, as well as birds, javalina, wolves, elk, bison, tortoises, porcupine, big cats, etc.

After we had photographed and walked and visited with docents (and other caravaners) we headed out to seek LUNCH. Chinese sounded good, so we found a Chinese buffet with many cars in its parking lot - always a good sign! We weren't misled! Delicious!

For Airstreamers, Wal Mart stops are almost a necessity. We'd been advised the night before to make sure we are well hydrated at all times and that we should get Gatorade and lots of water to ensure that. Who should we see at Wal Mart in the Gatorade and water section? Well, Lyle and Peggy, Bill and Dorma, and others whose names we have yet to learn! We were beginning to suspect Winston of having Gatorade stock!

The trip back to the RV park took us past a quilt shop. Maggie and I had a fine time at the Cotton Patch browsing - and buying. An excellent find! Now, if I only had my machine with me! Maggie keeps hers in their sofa's arm cavity.

No dinner, as we were stuffed, but the Fandango that followed the drivers' meeting provided some snacks before we retired.
