Today was spent almost entirely on I-40 and I-17 to make up some time for our delay in ABQ. When we stopped for gas this morning, I noticed that the exhaust pipe extension was loose. It doesn't appear broken, but loose at the last joint. I ma have to replace the clamp. Another casualty of the puddle from yesterday. We made a stop at the Phoenix Camping World to get that sewer extension so I could hook everything up again when we stopped tonight. No more leaking gray water tank. It was a pretty smooth trip except for a couple of long hill climbs on I-17. We ended the day in Gila Bend, AZ at Augie's Quail Trail RV Park. It's pretty empty. Not sure if it fills with snow birds in a month or so. There really not much around that I can see from here. We're right across the street from a Calgon Carbon activated carbon recovery plant and down the street from a gas turbine electric generating station. What the place lacks in vistas, it made up for it with sunsets as you can see from the pictures posted. I was also surprised that there were so many mosquitos. When I took the sunset pictures, I was nearly carried away. I didn't know mosquitos were in the desert. I guess you learn something new every day. Stay tuned for more bits of information.
