Ocean City is located just North of Ocean Shores on the WA coast.
For our last stop after an uneventful two night stay in Canon Beach, OR we headed to Ocean City RV Park for a 4 night stay. It just happened to be Thanks Giving week and when we arrived the owner said she hosts a dinner for everyone in the park. There are a lot of people that come there every year for this event. All who attend bring a side dish to share and Susan, the owner, furnishes the bird, ham and potatoes. I was a great time and a good way to cap off the end of our two month journey.

After spending a few days in Wickenburg, AZ meeting up with some friends that were in the area for the winter and having a couple good lunches we rolled up to Boulder City, NV. We toured Hoover Dam taking a tour of the California side Power Plant. That’s a long ride down the elevator then walking thru dank tunnels and into the power house viewing room. We stayed in nice park with a view of Lake Mead.

Arcosanti is a projected experimental town with a molten bronze bell casting business in Yavapai County, central Arizona, 70 mi north of Phoenix, at an elevation of 3,732 feet . Its arcology concept was posited by the Italian-American architect, Paolo Soleri (1919–2013). He began construction in 1970, to demonstrate how urban conditions could be improved while minimizing the destructive impact on the earth. He taught and influenced generations of architects and urban designers who studied and worked with him there to build the proposed ‘town.’
The town has about 50 plus people living there at the time we visited.
We toured this property, our tour guide was Ruth Claire, she has lived there since the beginning. It was to be a hour long tour and ended up taking almost a hour an forty five…It was just the two of us at first and joined about one third thru and were joined by a young woman who has been working for Hewlett Packard in Phoenix and looking to escape the corporate life and live a much simpler life.
