Thanks again, everybody... really! We kicked it around last night and decided that your experience trumps our curiosity... we're gonna pass. Given all these restrictions, there's virtually no reason left to put ourselves through an agonizing 90 minutes of hard sell, especially when we had no intention of buying any timeshare membership in the first place, not here, not anywhere, not ever... all we wanted was the free stuff, and if the free stuff can't be used conveniently, well then, to heck with it.
We're thinking that since we have some friends who we haven't seen in awhile up in Kingman, maybe we'll just go see them for a few days, then drop on down to Havasu and see what we can find on our own. Google shows a lot of open countryside along the eastern shoreline of that lake, even what looks to be some private land with a few roads that cut over to the water, and a couple State Parks as backup... kinda do a big loop down to I-10, then cruise on back home through Phoenix. Sounds a whole lot better already!
To "avoidcrowds" of Centennial, CO - Thanks for the tip re: GoogleEarth... I zoomed right down in between the rows of campers at both resorts and didn't see one single pop-up!
