Wickenburg Arizona

Well, here we are on our third day in Wickenburg Arizona.  Our plans for staying here didnt work out quite as planned, but we are still enjoying ourselves.  Our original plan was to stay south of Wickenburg on government land, but it was not near as nice land as is by Quartzsite, Arizona.  Here the land is more sand than anything else, and we didnt want to risk getting the motorhome stuck, so we found a nice RV Park in town called the Horspitility RV Park.  It caters to people who have horses as there is miles of trails, but others are welcome as well.

This is a pretty interesting town.  It is about 10,000 people but it is really spread out.  Some of it is pretty old, and quite a bit of it is pretty new.  Today we set out to find a barber shop(I needed a hair cut really bad), and the Post Office, as we were expecting mail that is being forwarded to us.  We thought we had seen the Post Office, but couldnt remember if it was the one is this town, or in another town.  We drove about 3 or 4 miles through town, and didnt see it.  At the edge of town we decided to drive through a shopping center parking lot  to turn around and head back to town, and there was the Post Office!

We picked up our mail, and there across the street was a barber shop.  It wasnt too busy, so I didnt have to wait long.  After the hair cut we were cruising the town and sawThe Desert Caballeros Western Museum, and thought we would stop and check it out.  After we parked and were walking to the museum, we saw a place called Nana's Sandwich Saloon.  We decided a sandwich would be good, so we stopped for lunch.  The place was decorated with books and posters.

 

  

  

  

 

Ann ordered a club sandwich, pasta salad, and a vanilla latte.  I ordered  a hot pastrami sandwich, pasta salad, and mocha.  They were delicious!

 

 

Then it was off to the museum.  As it was close to closing time, they didnt charge us full price.  That was nice of them!  A most interesting museum with lots of paintings of the 1800's and early 1900's.  In addition there were lots of rocks from mostly the southwest on display, a room full of cowboy gear used in the movies, and the basement was set as mid-1800's house.  They didnt allow pictures, which was too bad, but understandable.

When we got back to the park, we stopped in front of an area with various cacti and nametags.

 

  

  

  

  

I took this pic just so those living in the north will remember what green grass looks like.

 

Then it was back to the motorhome for another quite evening on the road.

More later,
