Florida Spring Training 2017 - Day 7

It was an easy drive today from Palm Desert to Phoenix.  The road was dry, no wind and very little traffic on I-10E.

We got on the road about 9:30 am and arrived in the Phoenix area about 3:30 pm local, losing an hour entering the Mountain Time Zone.  We are staying at the Pueblo El Mirage RV Resort in the Phoenix suburb, El Mirage, in the NW part of town.  We have stayed here several times before.  It is a very nice destination resort for snow birds with a mix of RV spots, semi-permanent park model modular homes and most recently, permanent houses that are part of the resort.  There is also an 18 hole golf course at the resort which is a major attraction for golf-playing snowbirds. The resort additionally has a major pickel ball complex that is apparently a venue for regional pickle ball tournaments  (A snowbird thing).





After getting set-up and relaxing a little, we had dinner at the golf course restaurant and returned to the RV.




The plan tomorrow is to visit one of our favorite places here, the Desert Botanical Gardens.  If time permits, we may also explore other things.  We will be here three nights and are planning to meet friends, Rich and Sylvia Aunger for dinner on Wednesday.
