Meeting Friends




Well our first rally is over and we really enjoyed it. We met some new friends and learned a lot of tips for maintaining our RV and keeping safe during our travels. We said goodbye to our friends Glenn, Marcie and Bear. Bear is their wood carved mascot. He sits by their RV. When we met him he was dressed in a life preserver due to all the rain.

On our way out of town we drove down to the 4 corners to take some pictures of Quartzsite. We are traveling down Rte 95 N to Parker, Arizona. Rte 95 is a "roller coaster" road with lots of dips. If you go over these fast enough you leave your stomach behind! The ride was pretty as we crossed the Cactus Plains with the Mojave Mountains in front of us.

It was a short drive to Parker. Parker is a nice area. We were up the road in Lake Havisu several years ago for a vacation and we drove down to Parker to go to and RV show and ended up at the Blue Water Casino. This time we'll meet our friend Gordon Hollabaugh here. We got settled in at the Blue Water RV Park. The park is about 38 years old but very well kept. Most of the people here are 'snowbirds'. They have nice facilities and BINGO on Tuesdays! We will spend an extra day here to do some travel planning for the Sabn Diego area which will be our next stop.

We met Gordon and his friend Anna for dinner. We went to the Blue Water Casino. It was really good. Anna was playing video poker at the bar and got a Royal Flush and a nice payoff ...yea!... We made plans to play golf tomorrow at Emerald Canyon Golf Club. Gordon & Anna headed home and we went to the casino. We had a really good night.

We are looking forward to playing Emerald Canyon tomorrow.
