Bullhead City, AZ







Have now moved to Bullhead City, AZ, across the river from Laughlin, NV. We are at Ridgeview RV Park, and as you can see, we are parked on the ridge. These pictures are what we see out our back window! Several casinos, and look to the right, ALL desert!






Unfortunately, the trip from Salome had it's problems. 20 miles south of Lake Havasu, a trailer tire blew. So we sat along the Hwy for 45 minutes, waiting for a service truck. We did have a spare, so only delayed a couple of hours.

Quartzsite


We currently are in Salome, AZ. Temps in the 60's, near 32 at night. So today, we went to Quartzsite to visit the HUGE RV Show. All kinds of RVs, booths, swap meet areas, etc. Spent money. For anyone who is not familiar with Quartzsite, it is a fairly small town (1700), which grows to nearly a million people in January. Most of the population is dry camping in the desert on BLM land, as you come over the mountain pass, all you see is RVs throughout the desert! They have a mineral & gem show, as well as the week long RV show, and upwards of 2000 vendors of ALL kinds. You can find ANYTHING.

One of our Christmas presents from Rich is a Photo Scanner, which scans pictures AND slides. So we have been busy sorting & scanning our many prints & slides, so they will be digitized and saved on the computer. The comments about the temps brought back memories, and this picture came to mind. As we continue to sort & scan, you can expect that some of the "past" will get posted on this Blog as well as on our web site. Hope you enjoy it. If you have any suggestions, please let us know.

Leaving Vegas

Visited cardiologist today. His advice, "I'll see you next Winter". YEA!! So tomorrow, we will get the trailer from storage & park it in front of the house to load up. Wed. morning, we will "Be back on the Road".

We've been in Las Vegas 14 weeks now, much longer than original plan. So much has happened. We just feel so blessed that everything worked out so well. We must say a special Thank You to Rich, for being there when he was needed. And Thank You to Cindy, Deb, & Joe for your visit. We also need to say Thank You for the support we got from Rick & Pam, Bob & Dottie, Dave & Gail, Leslie & Amanda, and any others we may have missed.

One worry we have in leaving is the effect it will have on Frankie & Dutchess! They seem to have become good friends.

More later.
