... That Is The Desert !!

Sunday, March 2, 2014

It is 78 deg in Fort Mohave, NV, am at the pool at a casino, am the only one at the spa and the pool. Everyone else is indoor in the dark casino, why ? Don't know, didn't ask.



Hey kids, a week a go today I took off, yep, on the road I went. Heading to Quartzsite AZ. Should have been there by now, ... but, had a bad day last Wednesday, drove the RV in a tight space between trees, thought I could make, went thru, but the end result was that some hidden high roots busted the black and grey tank discharge connection. Major bummer, it happened in Needles CA. Black tank collects the toilet junk, and grey tank collects the shower and sink stuff. Trying to get it fixed, going thru the insurance is a pain in the butt. Actually, the problem is the time it takes them to process the claim. After all the years processing this kind of stuff, you would think it would be a swift process. The repair shop is waiting for the insurance adjustor to approve the repair. I think it is going to be expensive. There is the obvious external damage to the pipe connection. That part is not expensive, but am pretty sure the piping is also broken further in, close to or at the black tank. That is very hard to get to and may require replacing the black water tank, a big job I think. However, the shop only provided an estimate to the do the easily accessible repairs, then would do a supplement estimate if they find the second problem. That would add more time to the whole process. Am in Laughlin NV, just by the Colorado river.


In the mean time, I stay put, maybe a week, maybe two, hopefully not more. I found this KOA, it is the most inexpensive KOA I have ever been to. It is very nice, across the street from a casino resort, and I get pool privileges at the casino. KOA campgrounds for RV’ing are usually pretty nice, but I don't usually stay at them because they tend to be expensive, because they don't usually offer weekly and monthly rates. This one does, cool me thinks. As you can see above the casino resort has a very nice pool and a beach at the Colorado river. I guess it is not hot enough, yet, for people to use them. That is OK, I will. BTW, very hot days are coming by the end of the week it will be 89, but by the end of the month it could get to the normal 100’s. That is the desert.
