We are in site 32.
There are 53 sites in this campground and only 12 sites are being used. Of that 12, 5 are for one boys youth group. We stayed here on September 14, 2011 and at that time there was only a couple of people here. It is really a nice campground with 40 to 50 feet between sites which are level and paved with electricity and water.
Today’s drive was 429 miles. We were on the road by 6:30 a.m. and got to Homoliva at 4:00 p.m.
I had planned a stop in Flagstaff to do our grocery shopping at a SuperWalmart however that did not work out so well. I have read a lot of blogs about how unfriendly Flagstaff is to RV’ers and they again proved it to be true on all accounts. It was difficult to find the store because of no signage. We saw a large brown building with a large parking lot and figured it to be the Walmart. When got right to the turn lane we could see the four foot high Walmart sign at the parking lot entrance. However, I could not see a good path into and out of the parking lot. One of the challenges of pulling a car is you can not back up. If I get myself into a place where I can not make a turn I’d have to stop unhook the car and then backup. I actually have had to do this once. We were on Hwy 50 (out in the middle of nowhere) half way across Nevada when we stopped for lunch at a pony express historical site. The parking lot was empty and I thought I could make a large circle and make it out the only entrance point. I was wrong, unhooked the car, backed up three feet and made the turn J. Back to Flagstaff Walmart, the parking lot was so broken up the curbs and light posts I was not sure I could get in and out with all the tight turns and other vehicles in the lot. After driving around the area looking for a place to park we decided to move on down the road.
Here is a Google Earth view I got after we arrived at Homolovi. It doesn’t look to bad until more cars and a few motorhomes are added.
Flagstaff was also a scheduled pee stop for Hank so he went 5 (FIVE) hours without a pee (poor traveling Hank) we usually stop every two hours.
Nice day with a temp of 92 here.
