Up and on the move today, but again just a fairly short day, from Organ Pipe to Casa Grande.The lady at the Registration Hut told us if we were going that way to go by Highway Indian # 15. On the map it appears to be just a gravel road across the Tohono O'odham Indian Reserve, but she said it is a new wide paved road all the way. It turns off Highway 86 at Quijotoa and takes you right into Casa Grande. Since Tom and Linda are at High Chaparral RV Park on Battaglia Road we decided to travel that way. Battaglia Road intersects Indian #15 just p
rior to Casa Grande. Once on the road we indeed, did find it to be an excellent highway. Wide shoulders and new pavement. Found High Chaparral RV Park, without a hitch, thanks to GPS and "2009 Streets and Trips". Arrived just after noon and went to register at the Office. Brenda, the clerk, said "Hey, you know its dinner time and I'm in the middle of lunch. Just go and find a spot near Tom andLinda and come back sometime this afternoon for the paperwork". Pretty Laid Back!! So that is what we did. Tom and Linda were in H6 and we took H3. Got all set up and went and had a beer with tom and Linda, and reviewed notes of each other whereabouts for the last month. Then Tom and I wandered over to the office for the "paperwork". By now Brenda had forgotten when we came in. She thought yesterday, and then said for the 4 days I was planning on staying that it would be $40. Tom says "How come he gets such a good deal when I pay $20/Night"? Brenda kids him a long and says, "Because he's just a better person".Anyway we eventually get it all sorted out. $20/night for all services. We will stay 4 nights, leaving on Sunday. Tom and Linda plan on leaving Saturday, heading back to Yuma. Us to Tucson area.For dinner we decide to go out with Tom and Linda and their friends Jim and Martha Orcutt, from Conrad, Montana. We go to Chris's Diner just up the road. The meal was good, but large. We all brought "Doggy Bags" home. Sat outside and BS'ed until after dark, and then turned in.

We are heading down Tucson way on Monday. Hoping to get into either Catalina State Park or failing that Gilbert Ray out in Tucson Mountain Park.
