5/26/09 - Quartzite, AZ



We got up and took showers in our bathroom -- this is only the third time we have used our trailer shower. We drove to the nearby Fort Bowie National Historic Site. This was the fort used by the U.S. Army to subdue Geronimo and the Apaches. Then we drove to Casa Grande Ruins National Monument between Tucson and Phoenix. It is one of the largest prehistoric structures ever built in North America. It was built around 1350 by the Hohokam indians. We drove on to Quartzsite, Arizona and checked into an RV park. This area is very popular with RVers in the winter, but it is pretty deserted in the hot summer months.
