The reposition......

 8:20 am - Sunday - January 16th - Newell House, AZ - 43° F, 35% humidity, wind - CALM.....partly cloudy today with a forecast high of 71° F.  The view this morning......↴

.....on this date in 2020 TLE and I were putting the finishing touches on hole #9 of the mini golf course at Ramon Oaks RV Resort.  Over several days we removed the old turf, and installed brand new turf.......↴

Our interlude at Echo Lodge Resort seemed all too short, but Saturday it was time to reposition the Newell to Wittmann, AZ where over the next few weeks we will attempt to complete a few planned projects such as removing our 40 year old shocks, and air bags, and installing new ones.  We wanted to get to Wittmann early in the day so we managed to roll our wheels out of site #166 by 8:35 am to begin our 143 mile trip.  We stopped briefly in Parker, AZ to take on 27 gallons of diesel at $3.63/gallon to get us to a much better price in Tonopah, AZ in a few weeks when we head back into California. By the way, this diesel price was $1.30 less per gallon than on the California side of the river.

We initially headed south on US-95 and then southeast on Arizona 72, and ultimately to Arizona 60, which took us all the way to Wittmann via Wickenburg.  The roads were mostly pretty good except for a 10 mile section on Arizona 72, which was terribly rough.  We took a restroom break in Salome, and then continued eastward. Eventually we found ourselves descending into Wickenburg, AZ from our high elevation of the day......2,700'.  Once we passed through Wickenburg it was only 17 miles to Wittmann.....

Heading down 227th Ave. in Wittmann

.....as we turned left off Lone Mountain to 227th Ave. (above) we saw that some road work has been done since were were last here in late February....used to be a washboardy dirt road.  Then Newell House came into view.....

....Tom and Darlene's home is in the forefront, and Newell House is in the background....it is enormous.....TLE took a video of our ingress to the property......

.......when we had parked, and leveled I turned to TLE and said "It's nice to be back in our happy place" to which she replied...."yeah".

We arrived at 12:02 pm without incident having covered 143 miles in the relatively fast time (for us) of 3 hours and 27 minutes.  Time to get to work on those projects!
