Day 74 Mon Mar 26 Temp @ PIR– 9 AM 63F (17C); 5 PM 83 F (28.5C)

Our fresh water tank is empty this morning after 5 days dry camping. We left PIR @ 10:25 @ 150008 km. We exited the hwy at 11:25 to look for a grocery store but couldn’t find it so we returned to the hwy at 11:30. Off hwy & into Valle del Oro RV Resort @ 11:40 @ 150085 km. We got into our spot, # 587, and were almost immediately invited to a block party starting around 4 PM. The street where we are is mostly park models that are very nicely kept and many have lots of cactus & flowering plants outside. We went up for a quick swim in the heated pool, (I estimate heated to around 90 F/32C), and then to the party. Everyone was very friendly. We met Dick & Donna, Bruce & Kay, & Larry. There was lots of great food plus, they came around refilling Sheila’s glass with a vodka punch. Sheila made cream cheese with the Sunset Gourmet sauce to take over as a contribution. Afterwards, we came back to do computer work & catch up on journal entries etc. We tried to get Dancing with the Stars for Sheila but couldn’t find it on the channels we’re getting with our antenna. (There’s no cable TV here.) What I thought was ABC had something else on. Sheila went next door & asked about channels & they gave her the channel number. It was 15-1, (all channels here are digital and crystal clear), but we couldn’t pick it up. Then, after the show had ended, I got the idea that the VCR/DVD unit might be interfering with the feed somehow, so I disconnected the VCR, reprogrammed the channels on the TV and there was ‘Channel 15-1’ along with some more that had not shown up before, I can pick up 17 digital channels although 2 or 3 are in Spanish. Now we have to sort out the broadcast time. AZ doesn’t go on DST it is the same time here as in CA, so programs scheduled for 8 PM in CA, we think should be on at 8 PM here, but who knows???
