Mesa RV Park & Superstition Mountains

Nothing is so contagious as enthusiasm.

We stuck to our original plans and moved the few miles to the RV park in Mesa. Once settled in Terry said he was going to

put on his brakes and stay there all winter. In other words, he’s thrilled we moved. When you move from a situation you really don’t care for, it’s not hard to pleased on the next move. This park has it all though. It has several pools both indoor and outdoor. In addition, it has several hot tubs both indoor and outdoor. There are several club houses, several laundry rooms, pool tables, lots of things to do including wood shop, cooking lessons, an exercise room and the list goes on and on and on. If we were going to be here for quite a while, we’d probably be interested in a lot of the activities. We have so many things on our agenda that I don’t know that we’ll have time to add to our list while we’re here. There are so many huge RV parks in the Mesa and Apache Junction.

It didn’t take Duchess long to have the route to the dog run down. Now if you head that way, it’s like she’s on a mission. She’s the one pulling you. She even got to play this afternoon with another Doberman. This morning it was a poodle.

Since we moved early we had lots of time to spare and did make the short trip to the swap meet in Apache Junction. This place is just huge. Terry found a Buck knife but that was about the extent of the purchase. We really didn’t stay long but headed out to view the Superstition Mountains. The mountains are so beautiful. The Miner’s Camp Restaurant is close to the Goldfield Ghost Town. If you’ve not been to that restaurant, I would suggest you try it at least once. We went there for the first time many, many years ago. Terry’s folks took us and we’ve been back many times since. It’s like a mining camp and you’re served family style on tin plates. We also noticed a new Superstition Mountain Museum that we hadn’t been to before. However, by the time we arrived they were just getting ready to close for the day. We walked around the little church which is in the same parking area. It looks like typical western town and my camera was snapping. Monday’s destination will probably be the museum and the Goldfield Ghost town. We have quite a list of things we want to do but we might as well start there. Anyone been to the Arizona Opry? We haven’t but want to do that this week.

We ended the day by jumping in the swimming pool and then relaxing in the hot tub which is just about across the street from our site. We’re happy.
