Wildcat @ Cocopah

We are currently residing at the Cocopah Casino parking lot for the next three days while we figure out where we’re headed next. As we’ve mentioned before, Cocopah Casino is a great place to stop overnight, or for several days. They charge $5 for each 3 day period, and you can stay pretty much indefinitely if you don’t mind dry-camping. They allow use of generators and have a source of water to fill your tanks before parking. Their casino is nice and close to town. Their staff  is very friendly, and there are even large areas of grass on the grounds for your pup to enjoy in this otherwise desert city.

We’re anxiously anticipating warmer weather in some of the more scenic areas of the country. We’d like to visit Zion National Park again (we had a short, one day quickie tour back in 2001 when we visited Las Vegas for the first time), along with Bryce Canyon and Page, Arizona and the slot canyons nearby. Right now we’re in a good location to get to these places without a huge amount of driving, and we’ve been told that Spring is the best time of year to check them out. But frankly, though the desert is a beautiful place in its own right, we’re just tired of sand, gravel, and cactus (particularly our tender-footed Shadow), and the seemingly ever-present winds, so we’re hesitating a bit.

The nice thing about RVing is that you can go anyplace you want, whenever you want. If you don’t like the weather, move on. If you don’t like the scenery, move on. And the world is your oyster – so many choices! Sometimes, though, the freedom of choices makes it difficult to actually make one! Any suggestions? Where do you like to hang out this time of year?
