Soup Friday! Here we are enjoying lunch.
L/R - Marge, Darleen, Bob, Edna, Dick, Vern & Donna. The empty spot is mine.

We left Mesa and drove out Hwy 10 to exit 81. Leaving Hwy 10 we are now on Salome Rd. We travelled about 33 miles at a very leisurely pace and arrived in the community of Salome. At the intersection of Salome Rd & Hwy 60 we turned left and drove approximately a mile arriving at Desert Vista RV Park. The staff were very friendly and all of the parks guests also. Very nice park. We were here on our Coast to Coast membership which made the week we stayed, reasonable. On the Tuesday we went in Vern & Donna's vehicle and 30 miles east of Salome we were now in Aquila. Here each Tuesday they have a flea market on the side of the road and there were also many fresh vegetable & fruit vendors selling there products. We had lunch at the local mexican vendor, then returned to the park in Salome with our purchases. The park we stayed at is a great location if you have an ATV, or some sort of vehicle that travels well over open terrain. For people who like to quad etc. you can travel in any direction for short trips or trips that will take you some of the local mines, or just a fun day trip. Make sure you take water and a lunch, plus extra fuel. A shower is required when you return from your adventure. On Thursday we drove to Wickenburg along with Bob & Darleen(separate story & pictures). On the Friday of each week, the lunch special is eat as much soup and cornbread you would like for $3.50. The volunteer cooks made 6 kinds of soup & they were split pea & ham, Boston clam chowder, chicken noodle, turkey barley, cream of asparagus and California medley(vegetable). You could make as many trips as you would like to the counter, provided you cleaned & washed your bowl out between trips. I ended my trips to the counter after 5 times, only not trying the cream of asparagus. They were all excellent and no one left hungry! On Sunday morning we pulled up stakes and headed to Yuma.
