Day 15 - Leaving Tucson and heading north

We left Davis-Montham about 10:00 after breakfast and securing the RV for getting on the road.  We made a visit to Eegee's to try one of their frozen drinks.  We had a Pineapple-watermelon drinks and it was pretty good, different, but good.  

When then headed to the Saguaro National Park to see the big cactus that cover the land there.  Some of the things we learned about the mighty Saguaro is that they grown about 1 inch a year, they weigh about 100 pounds for each foot in height and they about 100 years old when they spout "arms".  

We stopped in Coolidge and bought some Bar-B-Que at Bubba's BBQ, I guess now you know I like BBQ!  I bought just a big sandwich to split with Debra, it was good, made a good choice.  

Next stop on our route, Casa Grande Ruins National Monument in Coolidge, AZ.  

Passing through Chandler we stopped for a much needed car wash visit to clean the Roadtrek.  We found Crystal Springs Car wash and their bays that were big enough for our 9'9" tall RV.  

All clean and back on the road heading north on our way to Camp Verde where we planned to stay in the parking lot of the Cliff Castle Casino.  There were about 6 RV's parking there, another Class B, some Class A's and a couple of trailers.  The casino had a shuttle that would pick you and bring you back if you wanted.  






I will edit some video for the places we stopped at later, no time right now.
