Back To Tucson!

After waking up and discussing our diesel smell problem, we decided to drive north to HWY 10 and then west to the Safford, AZ cutoff. Our original plan was to visit Safford, AZ and then come in from the east to Superstition Mountain, which is in the Apache Junction area. Once we got to the cutoff, if we were still dealing with the diesel smell, we would head back to Tucson and the Dodge dealership. Well, we got to the cutoff, and there was still the diesel smell coming off the engine, so we continued west on HWY 10 to Tucson. When we got back to Tucson Dodge, they discovered that the new fuel filter they had installed was cracked. While we waited for two hours, they replace it with a new one and we headed north towards Apache Junction.

We got to Gold Canyon in the afternoon, which is east of Apache Junction, and decided to stay at the Canyon Vista RV Park. Our friends Bill and Janice Hendricks have a home in the Mountainbrook development, which was right across the road from the park, so we got to see and visit with them. We also got to visit and have dinner with Tony Steeneck, his wife Gayla, and their daughter McKenna at their beautiful home in Mesa. Tony was our manager when we owned and operated Leisure Sports and Ski in University Place many years ago. We had not seen Tony for several years, so it was fun catching up on what has happened in our lives.
