09/30/19 -  I got up at 7:00 am since it was cold.  I checked and it was 49 degrees and 61 degrees in the RV.  I got the car ready for departure and put things away in the RV and left at 8:00 am.  The morning went very well and had no overheating problems even with some hills to climb.  I had a choice of only driving 144 miles before lunch or a little over 200 miles and so I choose the rest area at 144 miles.  I forgot that I could gain an hour after entered Arizona so I had lunch at 9:50 am Arizona time!  After I left, I got into a horrible windy conditions and really slowed me down.  After I hit I-17 and going south, it was a little better since the wind was from the south according to my phone.  I then had quite a climb on one hill so the RV decided to overheat but I got it cooled down fairly quickly so was back on my way.  When I got to the RV park, I knew the entry code but I was too slow to get back into the RV an the gate closed on me!  I had to wait until someone was leaving who was so kind to get out of her car and put the code in so I could get through the gate.  I knew the space I would be in so was able to drive right to it.  Now, I am sweating!  It is 92 degrees and I am in the sun.  I got the car off but decided to leave it parked there until I had the RV parked.  It took a while to park the RV since the space of it to sit is very tight.  I will have to take a picture sometime.  I then leveled the RV first and then decided to go to the office to pay for the month.  When I got around the corner, maintenance was writing up a parking violation since a neighbor called it in but she should have seen me unhook.  Oh, well, I explained, he understood and the violation has been destroyed!!  I learned they had raised the rent since I had made the reservation so now my lot is $600 a month instead of $525!  It is nice to have the windows open but will close them later because the low will be 64 degrees.  I am so glad to finally be here and settled in.
