Arizona

Moved on. We're headed back toward Colorado, still in Arizona. This is our
first visit to an Escapee's park. Escapee's Rainbow Park, just outside
Congress, AZ. $10 per night, full hookups. 110 sites. No reservations.
It's first come, first served. No limit on how long you can stay, except
that it's first come, first out. If someone arrives and the park is full,
the person who has been there the longest has to leave.

There are also RV and house lots to buy. 432 of them. Filled with friendly
residents. The Escapees club is built on a philosophy of providing whatever
help they can to RVrs. They encourage volunteerism and cooperation. It
seems to be working. We talked to at least twenty people. Every one of
them seemed genuinely interested in making sure they did anything they could
to help.
