Follow the Yellow-Dirt Road!
I spotted the red Trivago (van) just after sending out a prayer to be shown anything else I needed to see before heading back to my hotel. It was 3:30-ish pm and I had only inveigled my way into 2 different truck campers. I got a late start and then got sidetracked at the Quartzite gem and rock show. I decided to follow the van. What the heck? It was so red! After a few miles on a road that paralleled the 10 East, I lost it. But a Roadtrek came along, so I decided to follow it instead. The road got bad and I had to slow way down and lost sight of the Roadtrek. There were lots of cars and RV's going that way with signs for RTR and Boomers, which I didn't understand, but felt like arrows in the right direction anyway, so I decided to keep going. It became a dirt road heading into BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land. I love dirt roads! I always feel like there will be treasure at the end of the road, just around the next curve or hill. The road went on for at least a couple miles with RV's stretching out to the west, deep into the desert. Lots and lots. Really lots. At the very end of the permitted camping area, I turned west into the camping area. And, guess what? There was my red Trivago! The owner was very kind and spent quite a bit of time talking to me. She also told me about the RTR gathering and the educational seminars organized by Bob Wells, of CheapRVLiving.com, some geared specifically for women. Bob! I watched a bunch of his videos a few months back! I was so moved by the sincerity of his outlook and especially his respect for women, that he appeared in one of my dreams. I was amazed! I had stumbled onto the motherlode. By following my nose, I found what I was looking for! I'm getting a clear sense that this vehicle "research" is really about how to follow my instinct. It's true! There is a jackpot at the end of the dirt road!
